Mahalo Nui Loa

I would like to express my sincere appreciation and gratitude to the many family, friends and supporters who's tireless devotion made it possible to reach our goal during this campaign. With your help, I was able to take our message from house to house; from Puueo to Kapaau and to meet and greet thousands of our neighbors throughout the First House District.

During the campaign, many people shared their manao with me. I will cherish their words and wisdom and this will help to guide me as I do the people's work in the State House of Representatives. It is an honor to have been selected by the members of my community to be their voice in the fifty-one member of the House of Representatives.

This is an honor that I will not take lightly, nor carelessly discharge. In the days and months that come, the real work will need to be accomplished and the many ideas, hopes and dreams will need to be written into legislation for consideration by the legislature. I invite you to contact me at nakashima@hawaii.rr.com or telephone at 775-9170 if you have a concern to share and would like to be a part of this exciting process.
