New Vision for Old Problems

Like a failing heart that needs immediate CPR, our outer islands need radically different ideas to solve deep rooted social problems. Politics in the Northwest has been the cause of disunity among our people and the impediment to social and political progress. Far too many community leaders align themselves to the same old problems and the politicians who have failed to change the system. Politicians continue to feed this culture of divisiveness by feeding people’s need for long term solutions with short term bribery. Rather than inspiring our people with radically new visions and solutions that unite people, they continue to use the same old approach to same old problems. Rather than inspiring our people with radically new visions and solutions that unite people, they continue to use the same old approach to same old problems.  I challenge all candidates to build our islands rather than destroy them. Let’s work toward trying new and innovative ways to solve our growing problems in the Northwest. Let’s not be afraid to try.
