Blake Posted yesterday at 03:53 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 03:53 AM Press Release #001: Charlotte O'Hare announces campaign for Senate Hilo, Hawaii - Q1 2024, Hawaiian State Senator for the second district and 2021 Hawaiian teacher of the year Charlotte O'Hare announces her campaign for the United States Senate. The State Senator would be one of the youngest Senators ever at exactly thirty years old. She was born on the island of Hawaii and lives in her hometown of Hilo with her husband and two children. In her announcement she pledged to be a progressive voice for Hawaii in the United States Senate. In a speech she gave in front of a hometown crowd in Hilo she stated, "It is clear that this is the time for bold ideas and shooting for the stars. We need to take action on healthcare, on climate change, on education. We can't simply say our goal is to get a compromised position and then compromise further and further until the plan simply will not accomplish what we want. We need to fight for Medicare for all, for the Green New Deal, for student debt forgiveness, and free public university. From there we can compromise to actually help Hawaiians and Americans across the US. Climate change might feel like a far-off problem for a lot of Americans, but we can actively see that it is a problem that must be addressed right now. Our great state has one of the lowest uninsured rates in the country at four percent and that it still far too high. Student loan debt in our state is at four billion dollars and rising. These are just a few of the many challenges our state is facing. I taught elementary kids during the pandemic, I'm not afraid of tough challenges, and as your senator I pledge to always take the tough challenge to improve our great state. I will be a progressive voice for our beautiful state! On July 31st, let's elect a fresh Progressive voice to the Senate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
