Email: "Kaho‘ohalahala should run for mayor"

I want to send out an invitation to a man that I have known for over 12 years to be our next mayor. In the morass of political life, many people who run and are elected to office become less than we hope for—pressures of the job, long hours and little understanding or praise from the public, stress on the family, dealing with the unknown, distancing from constituents, giving in to very persuasive large corporations. The extraordinary crucible of public life changes people. I know I couldn’t do the job well. As a matter of fact, most of us either couldn’t do it or wouldn’t want to.

So when I look back at the 20 years I’ve lived here on Maui, only one person truly stands out. He is a leader that has kept in touch with the deep roots of the host culture, kept pono in his dealings as an elected official on both the state and county level, and day after day, asks the hard questions and shares profound vision which has helped to change our lives for the better.

Sol Kaho‘ohalahala, I am asking you to be our next mayor. I see Maui desperately needing the type of vision, commitment and extraordinary, unbreakable spirit that you have offered in every facet of your public life. Our county is in the midst of very challenging times. I know you can help us ensure a future that our children will have a real chance in.

Sean Lester, Kula
