I care deeply about the community, and I want to create a better Hawaii and a better Oahu for all of us. So I dont think we need to cut any other departments while were improving the quality of service at DPP. This Endless This is a paid advertisement. And number two, we didnt rent it out as a vacation rental or Airbnb unit. Whats your relationship like with Governor Ige, and how would you approach working with the state on our recovery? Below is the full transcript of Keith Amemiyas discussion with Mahealani Richardson, Daryl Huff, Colin Moore, Chad Blair, Christina Jedra and Stewart Yerton. PHOTO COURTESY KEITH AMEMIYA, He would soon find out. Priorities such as building water and infrastructure capacity for housing, down payment assistance, and investing in diversified industries are all important for our continued economic recovery. The current administration, the city is undergoing a climate action plan. It was good for me in the long run, says an appreciative Amemiya in assessing the Kobayashis impact on his life. [11][12][13] Blangiardi won the runoff with 58.2% of the vote. Whose failure is that? So what specific steps would you take to do that? We need to look at if we have to pay the workers in DPP more Ive been told that the turnover rate is high because the pay is low, and once they get the commensurate experience, they move on to the private sector. It taught me that its a difficult problem, there are not enough services for mentally ill people. Industries such as agriculture, aquaculture and renewable energy should be further explored after having been neglected for far too long, he says. Elections 2022 See also: Hawaii gubernatorial and lieutenant gubernatorial election, 2022 General election General election for Lieutenant Governor of Hawaii Ive worked directly with communities on Oahu on an every-day basis. So are you even qualified to be mayor, and can you do these things youre trying to do if you havent had an experience in this area? Amemiya is a member of a number of boards, including the Aloha Stadium Authority, Marcus Mariotas Motiv8 Foundation, and Assets School. Keith Amemiya, an Oahu businessman, attorney and former director of the Hawaii High School Athletic Association, announced on Tuesday that he is running for mayor of Honolulu. Speaking of fairness, what about for the hotels that have been essentially not able to operate for months what about giving them a tax break on property taxes? Theres a lot of city employees that are retiring in the coming years. We talk with Keith about the reasons why he's running for lieutenan. In 2018, the ACLU had to sue the state of Hawaii to get equal treatment for women, for girl athletes. Weve gone too far. Some of them are quiet, working-class. Ive always believed that in order to move forward, you have to be willing to take calculated risks, he says, adding that hard work and perseverance have often won over his biggest critics. So as mayor, if you find yourself in the middle of it, what do you say to each of those factions, when people are putting themselves on the line? What do you for them? We need to change our mindset. Prior to his candidacy for Mayor of the City and County of Honolulu, Amemiya was Senior Vice President of Island Holdings, Inc. the parent company of Island Insurance, Atlas Insurance Agency, Tradewind Capital Group, IC International, and Pacxa. Number one is crack down on the illegal vacation rentals; theres too many out there. I dont have to point that out. I added several female sports that didnt exist before, whether its girls golf prior to that, the girls have to compete with the boys for the championship, that was unfair. I mean, we dont need to go to that point yet, but again we need to change the mindset that everyone does not have to own a car and that we need to explore other modes of transportation. The state needs to work with the counties to ensure zoning regulations help support development for residential housing. We have to get the cost of living under control too many of our families and friends are already having to leave every year. The prices of housing, gas, food, and other essentials are skyrocketing.

Keith, speaking about Governor Ige, obviously, one of the things the mayor will have to do is work closely with the governor and with the legislature, particularly now, in the recovery from COVID. He prefers to tout his accomplishments as a statewide leader, which includes years of public service as executive director of Hawaii High School Athletic Association and executive administrator to the Board of Regents at University of Hawaii. Coordination of evidence-based and research-driven practices for community-wide testing and vaccinations. If he fails to receive an outright majority of votes but still finishes among the top two candidates in the primary election, hell then have one more opportunity to sell the public on his message of change before the Nov. 3 general election runoff.

To be honest, there's 15 candidates, I know some better than others, but I view myself in terms of the candidates I know, to be the most liberal. from the William S. Richardson School of Law. I dont think were gonna take away necessarily from any other department, Ive heard from the construction industry, and the development industry, theyre willing to help pay for increased pay for workers or whatever it takes to retain workers in DPP so that they dont leave after six months or a year and start the turnover churn over and over. Thats my goal. The guest is Keith Amemiya. I would lose votes if I do that. I wonder, What got them to that point. I think of my own mom, who has mental illness and was on the brink of homelessness many times, if not for her family and friends. At a time when we could face a financial struggle in the city government, you mentioned building more infrastructure and allowing more density in the urban core for affordable housing? So my relationship with Governor and Mrs. Ige is strong. The power of the Office of the Lieutenant Governor can be used to coordinate and work between state agencies, convene working groups for departments working on housing issues, and streamline existing processes. This pandemic has been horrible for many, many reasons, but if theres any by-product of it, its proven we can communicate pretty effectively without being face-to-face. We plan on helping him merge morals and values. I think that was clear to everyone that thats too many tourists. Hillary Clinton got the other two-thirds, but you basically told one-third of the voters out there, Republican who did not vote Democrat, you know, These are the guys Im going with, cause by the way, David Ige and Scott Saiki and Ron Kouchi, and all of the members of the delegation in Congress, are Democrats too. Well, I think we have to wait and see. Keith, this election is about future generations, our keiki. He definitely wasnt trying to impress me, says Bonny, chuckling at the memory. We need them to succeed. All rights reserved. The state needs to also improve the quality of womens wellness and LGBTQIA+ healthcare services on the neighbor islands. When they say he brings people together, its true.. The real property tax assessments in the upcoming year, we cant assume or shouldnt assume that theyre gonna go down significantly. High cost of living is the number one concern I hear from working class families across Oahu, and I was the first, and Im the only candidate to have a housing-for-all plan. It keeps getting pushed back, and as you know, HART was hoping to open up that first segment this year. Well, I share the concern and frustration, if you will, of the two most recent departing commissioners Levinson and Sheehan. In 2020, ATS served 1,030 men and women, down from the previous year due to fewer available beds caused by critical funding cuts and COVID-related regulations, said Major Jeff Martin, Divisional Leader, The Salvation Army Hawaiian & Pacific Islands Division. What have they done wrong? Amemiya earned his BBA from the University of Hawaii at Manoa and received his J.D. As Bonny puts it, When you spend a lot of time with someone, I guess they just grow on you.. Keith, in your latest television commercial, you talk about your family, and you also remind viewers that youre a Democrat. So that, number one, will create more efficiency. We need to sharpen our pencil. I also believe we need to improve in the following areas: Clearer, more consistent communication to the public, with coordination from all levels of government and business and community leaders. Its worked in other cities, and I can;t see why it wont work in urban Honolulu. Were fortunate. I had an office in the downtown area and it just wasnt a good environment for the homeless or the Chinatown merchants and shop-goers. [20][21], American business executive and politician, 2022 Hawaii lieutenant gubernatorial election, "New TV Spots Promote Keith Amemiya's Democratic Roots", "Keith Amemiya: Political Outsider Or Establishment Insider? Contact & Personal Details. Keith, when was the last time you changed your mind about something important? Everyone has some relative or friend who has mental illness, and its its like any other illness. Everyone on Oahu thinks they need their own car, and that everyone else should ride the bus or walk, and we need to all do our part. Its been disastrous from before construction. Its the number one issue here as well, based on my feedback from constituents. Theyre part of the problem. Keith Amemiya, thank you so much for your time. Im clearly my own man, and I do know all those people, but none of them asked me to run for office. I think my career has shown that. We have many people working second and third jobs, but they need to pay attention. If you have any, ideas on how to deal with that, all the cars on the road, buses, other things? Theyre trying to find a contract with a group of companies that would not only build the last stage of the rail, but also will maintain it and run it for the next 30 years at a price that is affordable to the city. He excelled on camera as an appealing British everyman who often portrayed guileless, wounded war heroes. I suspect that if Im elected mayor, our lives are all going to change, he says. To remain at our site, click BACK. So Im in support of that. We can do other things, and maybe were gonna talk about Sunshine Law before this hour is over, but we need to get more meaningful engagement from the community, not just neighborhood board commission meetings. Particularly at a time when youre trying to maybe cut bureaucracy, which I know is another thing that you have proposed. We need to find more alternative housing options for homeless people. While their stays are at best only over the summers and school breaks, these student-athletes are no doubt appreciative of the generosity demonstrated by the Amemiyas. I was pleased to see the hard work of the working group that was composed of voices from various perspectives that I believe all care about Hawaii and our special places. I created a separate girls golf as a sport. Mauna Kea is a special place for Hawaii, for spirituality, and for the universe. Theres enough checks and balances in DPP and the permitting process, where if you approve a permit, as long as you have the enforcement and compliance mechanism after, I think well be okay, because there are professionals like architects and engineers looking at the plans as submitted. He also served as Executive Director of the Hawaii High School Athletic Association. Im not complaining about it, but its stressful to have to care and worry about someone in your family thats mentally ill. Its on your mind numerous times a day, everyday. The mailer also claims Amemiya illegally purchased an apartment meant for low-income buyers at the 801 South Street condominiums. Im for open communication, transparency, we need to make it easier for people to have their say, and technology has proven that you can do it. We need to just be creative, we need to be innovative. So if theres a project where the developer engaged in honest, meaningful communication, followed the process and got approval, then yes, theres a point, government needs to enforce the law, of course. Thats the only way we can get out of this, that we have to help each other. End financial conflicts of interest Now, criminality, I dont know, Im not willing to say that. The city had approximately $200,000,000 in reserve in the prior fiscal year. You know, I never held it against her. Its not good to have a homeless person living on the sidewalk, but the solution to that is more affordable housing, more mental health treatment, more drug abuse treatment. All rights reserved. Theres a case where that issue, the development put in the ball field and the parking lot and tear down all the trees had actually been in the works for years and years and years. Yeah, we know you from high school, we know about Island Holdings, and you left that company, youre no longer with that company. At the time, he was a young civil litigation attorney and Bonny (formerly Suzui) was the CFO of a local fast food chain. Keith has got a good skill-set when it comes to dealing with people and making connections with them, observes wife Bonny. There were cell block beatings, the scandal where they were selling food out of the police stations kitchen that was meant for prisoners, things like that were happening. I first met Kalei when she was in middle school and, because she couldnt get the type of training and player development she needed on Molokai, Bonny and I agreed to let her live with us, explains Amemiya. Keith, what would you propose to do about the homeless situation, specifically in Chinatown, because (the Institute for Human Services) tried to create a facility there that failed because of push back by the business community. Not me. At the time, he was a young civil litigation attorney and Bonny (formerly Suzui) was the CFO of a local fast food chain. I mean, I cant blame it all on government. Amemiya's campaign web site says he and his wife purchased a. When you look at the Mauna Kea movement and how it has sparked conflicts over projects, what do you tell the nervous developers who have already received the green light by government, and what do you tell the police who have to enforce the law, and native Hawaiians who are willing to protest and put their lives at risk for their causes? Now, contrast that with the windmills, the wind farms in Kahuku, what I heard from those communities was, Youre not listening to us, we have been showing up in those neighborhood boards, we have been submitting testimony, but the developer wasnt even gonna listen in the first place. Of course, we saw how that was settled. As the only candidate for lieutenant governor who is not a career politician or lobbyist, and the only one who does not take money from lobbyists, I support the following measures to combat corruption in our legislature: Impose term limits on legislators Well actually, looking over your Q-and-A for Civil Beat, thank you very much, you said COVID you know thats the problem of today, but climate change is really gonna be the problem for all of us for the near future, and much further down the line. You got two plum endorsements recently: HGEA, the white collar public workers union, and UPW, the blue collar public workers unions. We have to wait and see. I am the only candidate who has a detailed plan to clean up corruption so that we can focus on the critical issues facing working families statewide, such as affordable housing, homelessness, and climate change. But you also have to do your homework and show them on paper, and once you get a track record of success, then the next time you propose something, theyre more open to it.. Well, we need to do what we can to find them alternative places to live. [2], Since January 2021, Amemiya has served as executive director of the Central Pacific Bank Foundation. Quality education is one of the keys to opening a future of hope and opportunity for our youth. Theres only a few hundred shelter beds available at any one time, so in the meantime, when there is this immediate situation, would you continue enforcement? Are you gonna tell a hotel, Hey, you gotta move a mile inland, or 500 feet. What are you gonna do about that? Were not extremely close, but we know each other. "I'm running for. Theres no road map or playbook as to how to deal with this, so Im open to any and all ideas, and I dont wanna be so steadfast to say that we absolutely wont work with the hotels. I support Hawaii Tourism Authoritys movement to Huliau or transform towards a kamaina-driven visitor model, focused on bringing the right visitors that are respectful and mindful of their impact on the local community. Young people are leaving our state in alarming numbers, and we cant attract and retain essential workers because Hawaii is simply not affordable. Its doable, but let me add that another area where we can greatly increase housing inventory is through public-private partnerships. The couple married in 1996, and three years later welcomed their only child, Christopher (named after Amemiyas best friend), into their world. There were no sparks during their initial encounter, in which they initially found themselves working on opposite sides of a lawsuit. Working closely together, they got to know and like each other. He is the Chairman of the Board for two of the subsidiaries, Atlas Insurance Agency and Pacxa (IT company). You basically make it easier to get past, eventually. Werent you part of that same culture, and how are you different from the commission that basically screwed it up? The next mayor needs to do something about it. I basically doubled the amount of female sports opportunities during my tenure. Theyre tired of the same old politicians running for office and making the same type of decisions that arent improving the lives of working-class families. Little wonder why so many of his supporters believe that in a city ripe for a leader who can galvanize the masses, Amemiya represents their best hope. And also Governor Ige came out and said that was a failed policy. Its pretty powerful people that are very well connected, and very entrenched, you might even say, Are you really your own man, or are other people pushing you to take this job? We can look at financing, interest rates are still relatively low, we can look at partnerships with the private sector. At least two of your competitors say that they dont need training wheels to be mayor. And thats why Im running. Keith, Mayor (Kirk) Caldwell just signed the latest city budget. Yes, I did, and thats one of my proudest achievements. PHOTOS COURTESY KEITH AMEMIYA. So, hearing you say a lot about communication, that Im seeing two examples, all very fresh with very different outcomes and a lot of different interpretations of what actually happened. ", "Musings from Manoa: Amemiya right man for top job", "Wishing a wonderful 55th birthday to our humble leader and friend, Keith, today from Team Amemiya!! The stories found here discuss the Financial issues and challenges unique to our island home. You need to be proactive and you need to get out there constantly. Im running for lieutenant governor because Im concerned for Hawaiis future. I served on the Board of Education from 2011 to 2015 and know firsthand that every school is unique, particularly in our island state. We need to look at maybe elongating the financing of the rail project, but we need to finish the rail project. Are you the candidate thats going to end homelessness on Oahu once and for all? Many people have made my life possible the way it is today, I feel fortunate, and we need to all pay it forward and we need to make the next generation better than we had it. Its increasing even more as a pandemic lasts, so we need to do more partnerships, collaborations with non-profit agencies that are equipped to handle those kinds of situations. He also served as Executive Director of the Hawaii High School Athletic Association. And in particular, because after that project was completed, many units changed hands and at higher prices. Im in support of vacation rentals in resort areas like Waikiki and Ko Olina. So my wife and I built, bought a unit in 801 South Street, and to be clear, there was a certain percentage of units made available through the open public or general public. Other names that Keith uses includes Keith Y Amemiya. Well, theres no good place for homeless people to stay, but Chinatown is not one of the places we should focus on. Were also coming out of a remarkable situation, the police chief convicted, his wife, the former deputy prosecutor, theres a loss of confidence in the part of the citizens, the City and County of Honolulu, whether they can trust an HPD officer. Umm, there must be some issue I changed my mind on, and I need to think about it a little more. Well, one area to look at is the city has approximately 1,000 vacancies right now, and theyve had that out of their 10,000-employee workforce for several years. Keith, one of the major contributors here to the carbon, to our carbon footprint, is road transportation. Well, youve seen whats happened to that commission lately. We need to provide more services. Amemiya, 54, has made the story of his upbringing a central part of his campaign. I got to meet a lot of working-class people, and I got to learn about their issues and their challenges first-hand. Born on September 1, 1965 in United States, Keith Amemiya started his career as business executive and politician . What the Kobayashis did for me transformed my life, Amemiya finalizes, and Ive always thought that if every teenager could just get one adult to believe in them, what a better world we would have.. You need to get input, and when you get input early on from everybody, you hear the different viewpoints, you modify the proposal. Can you tell us a little bit about that? As a business leader, I have been able to bridge gaps between our businesses and our communities. I know his wife, Dawn Ige, because she was a former public school vice principal. Were currently 22,000 units short on Oahu. During this pandemic, my campaign pivoted from campaigning for a while and provided meals to low income elementary school students, healthcare workers and domestic violence survivors, and their children. We need to look at it top to bottom, we need to look at creative ways that have been done successfully on the mainland. The state needs to take an active role in increasing the supply of housing for middle- and low-income residents. I dont know, I have to think about it. Its not for personal gain, for wealth or fame, but its to fix problems and make the community better.. With executive leadership experience in both the public and private sector, Amemiya has unique insight to the multitude of issues facing Hawaii, coupled with the ingenuity to forge impactful solutions through public-private partnerships. Most importantly, we need to be pau with the reasons why no can and start getting it done. They married in 1996 and have a son. So, none of those incidents that you mentioned were brought to our attention. We need to pivot towards a more multi-modal transportation system. Would you be willing to freeze or reduce city worker salaries, for example? Would you impose a minimum wage of, say, $20 an hour for across-the-board, or for the hospitality industry, or something like that? Ive been an executive in several areas in the private sector, the public sector, the non-profit sector. Its a big, pervasive problem in our society. Im very indebted to them for helping me. The next mayor needs to work with the state, the City Council, the legislature, the federal government to attack climate change. Keith brings a wealth of knowledge, relationships and experience to CPB Foundation, said Catherine Ngo, Chair, CPB Foundation. Well, we need to get out of our cars and car pool. Its everyones failure. Those are three areas we can be successful in, but it takes political will, explains Amemiya. Amemiya will manage strategic planning, programs, and operations for CPB Foundation. I want change, and the people want change. Both situations, theyre not good. Name on ballot: Keith Amemiya Running for: Lieutenant Governor Political party: Democrat Campaign website: amemiyaforlg.com/ Current occupation: Executive Director, Central Pacific Bank. Collin Moore, Hawaii News Now Political Analyst: Is there one or two big ideas that voters should connect with your candidacy? Now if I can add to that, the pandemic has taught us that maybe everyone doesnt have to go to downtown to work, that maybe you can work from home, maybe we can have four-day work weeks across the board with rotating days off, so that traffic is spread out over the week. I worked with high school principals, local businesses, and community leaders, including Carissa Moore and Marcus Mariota, to distribute over 20,000 meals at schools to ensure our keiki and their families were fed. We need to contemplate innovative revenue generation opportunities, including potential green taxes, to create more funding. I know there are challenges. He was born and raised in Windward O'ahu, where his maternal grandparents Whitney and Hannie Anderson, and mother and stepfather Kim and John Puchalski, raised him . And for years, Keith Amemiya has been a generous donor to the political campaigns of Hawaii's power players. To him, it was just another way of giving back to the community while also paying homage to the family who took him in and taught him, among other things, how to be plucky and stand on his own two feet. Lack of collaboration, partisan divide, pettiness, you name it. This is an economic situation changing by the week, changing by the month, its unprecedented. Keith, what's your favorite song and why? As one of Amemiyas first actions as Executive Director, CPB Foundation awarded The Salvation Army's Hawaiian & Pacific Islands Division a $100,000 grant to support their Addiction Treatment Services (ATS) program located in Nuuanu. Okay, youre from the police commission. Why cant we testify via Skype, like I said, or Facetime? Build water and infrastructure capacity, where appropriate, to incentivize development of housing local families can afford. The public needs to pay attention more, too. Thats the way I look, when you have a cold, you go to the doctor. Well, theres a couple of other ways. Now, of course, we have to balance it with the needs and the capability of the employer, and especially with COVID hitting us, we need to look at whats fair. One of the very first guests to their home was former Molokai High standout Kalei Adolpho, who wound up starring in basketball and volleyball at University of Hawaii at Mnoa. ThinkTech Hawaii streams live on the Internet from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm every weekday afternoon, Hawaii Time, then streaming earlier shows through.
