New team member of Abercrombie for Governor

“The Nineteenth Amendment (Amendment XIX) to the United States Constitution prohibits each state and the federal government from denying any citizen the right to vote because of that citizen’s sex. It was ratified on August 18, 1920.” — Wikipedia

The right to vote was something I learned from my Nanny, my maternal grandmother.  She was very passionate about her right to vote and even more passionate about her freedom of speech.  As far back as I can remember, many of our family dinner discussions were about local politics, government, and the issues facing each citizen.  There weren’t many arguments, but passionate disagreements.  As children, we were encouraged to get involved during the election season with the promise of being able to vote at the age of eighteen.  We were also encouraged to read and learn more about the candidates, the issues, and our community.  And, most importantly we were secure in our choices because there was an abundance of unconditional love in our family…still.

Today, I officially join the Abercrombie for Governor campaign team.  Regardless of our agreement in political parties or stance on issues, one thing is certain that the State of Hawaii desires leadership.  Over the past few years, I’ve gotten to talk with Neil and he has listened, offered support, and most importantly given me a commitment to lead.  It’s his commitment to me, to my community, to my Hawaii — today — that encourages me to be a member of his campaign team.

My role on the team is, Social Media Director.  Neil has been an active member of Twitter since 2007 and I am motivated by his open-mindedness and willingness to recognize the importance of reaching out to the community via different social media tools.

I am looking to build the AFG community even stronger than it is, so if you’re interested in learning more about using different social networking sites and harnessing the power of social media, let me know.  If anything, get involved!
