Americans for Democratic Action - Hawai'i Chapter - endorses David Ige for re-election as our Governor. He has been aligned with our policy goals to defend civil rights, support medical aid in dying, increasing educational resources, opposing NextEra's attempt to take-over Hawaii's electrical generating facilities; he agrees that we need to rid our coral reefs of oxybenzone, that we need to make our tax system more fair, and that we need to alleviate our very critical housing problems.
"Our Board is concerned about social and economic justice," said ADA Hawaii President John Bickel. " We believe that Governor David Ige is the better candidate to defend these values against the opposing corporate interests."
The organization has about 250 members and has actively engaged in state and local political issues for many years.

policies and has a positive agenda to promote economic, political, social, and environmental
justice. "Our board was impressed with her at the candidate forum," said ADA Hawaii President

record of good votes and clean ethics.
