Mahalo for filing Clean Elections Legislation!
House Speaker Scott Saiki has filed the transformative “Clean Elections” legislation to create a full public financing system for our elections, which would help get big money out of our politics and level the playing field for candidates of all walks of life.
This is a big deal! The Speaker of the House is one of the most powerful legislators in Hawai‘i, responsible in part, alongside the Senate President and the Governor, for setting the legislative agenda for State Government. For the House Speaker to be introducing the bill in the House this year sends a powerful signal that this legislation is serious, and deserves serious consideration.
We don’t fully know Speaker Saiki’s commitment to passing the legislation this session, but this is a positive move and by celebrating it and thanking him, we can show him this bill’s popularity and encourage him to use his power to continue pushing the legislation forward.
Take a moment today to give Speaker Saiki a mahalo nui with just a few clicks.
These messages of thanks will help show Speaker Saiki that there’s a reward for acting by the will of the people, at that Clean Elections reform is popular and enthusiastically supported!
