BEST POLITICAL ACTIVIST
Nikhilananda
You’ve seen him on Akaku’s Maui Talks TV show, which just celebrated
its fourth anniversary. You’ve voted for him—or not voted for him—in
six previous U.S. House or Maui County Council races. Now Green Party
activist Nikhilananda is running for office again—this time for the
open East Maui County Council seat being vacated by Bob Carroll. He’s
right on all the issues, but can’t seem to win a race. “Just because
I’ve lost races doesn’t make me a loser,” he recently told me. You know
what? He’s right again.
