“It would be a privilege to serve you again.”
From The Garden Island (kauaiworld.com), Saturday, April 17, 2010:
Former Mayor and Councilmember JoAnn Yukimura signed out nomination papers for a seat on the council. Taking this action last Friday, she signaled her intention to run for the County Council in the primary and general elections that will be held this fall.
“My heart has always been at the local level,” Yukimura said in a news release. “Over the years, I’ve been invited to run for lieutenant governor, the state House and Senate and even Congress, but I prefer the level closest to the people.
“What I love best is listening to concerns and working with others to address our problems and create new opportunities on Kaua‘i,” she said. “I also feel that the policies established at the county level are pivotal. It is our island plans for energy, land use, solid waste and drug prevention and how well we implement them at the local level that makes the biggest difference.
“I feel my experience, knowledge and commitment will be valuable in making wise and practical council decisions on behalf of the people of Kaua‘i. It would be a privilege to serve again,” Yukimura said.

Can you please suggest others you can work well with on the council? Mahalo, Bettie
Thanks for your message, Bettie, it will be forwarded to JoAnn immediately.
Please keep in mind that JoAnn is really busy, but this is a very good question, and your interest is much appreciated!
