“Thielen’s D stands for ‘different.’ She may be someone less likely to toe the line, more likely to shake the existing state of affairs, to seek to change it. Which is what the Hawaii Democratic Party really needs at this point.”

Vote for Change…
Vote for Clean Government…
Vote for Laura Thielen
Our Legislature has spent this year and last ramming through new laws that exempt development from zoning, bypass environmental protections and disarm laws and agencies that hold them accountable to the public.
It appears their plan – developed with no public discussion – is to spend next year awarding government contracts and using state monies with little oversight or accountability.
My opponent has voted to support every one of these bad laws.
It is time to stand up and tell our politicians that we do not support back room deals to reward insiders at the expense of our communities, our islands, and our quality of life.
I am running for State Senate for Kailua, Hawaii Kai and Waimanalo to stop this back room agenda.
If elected, I will be a strong voice for communities, small towns, the environment and farmlands. I will make sure our government is held accountable to the people and stop the back room dealing.
Please vote for change. Please vote for me this Primary Election on August 11.
Laura Thielen
Democrat for State Senate
