Aloha,
When I heard that Mazie Hirono of the Congressional Progressive Caucus had decided to seek Hawai`i's open U.S. Senate seat next year, I was thrilled.
I'm so grateful Mazie is taking on this challenge for us. She'll bring a new voice to the U.S. Senate.
Mazie has always spoken with clarity, vision and independence on important issues like early-childhood education, civil rights and green jobs. To think that her strong voice - which is really the voice of her constituents in Hawai`i - will be heard in the world's greatest legislative body is truly exciting.
The ability to send to someone with Mazie's courage, intelligence and compassion to the U.S. Senate is just an amazing opportunity. I hope everyone in Hawai`i realizes that. I'll certainly be spreading the word to my friends and family.
Of course, one of the best ways to help spread the word is by making a monetary contribution to the campaign. I've been proud to make the pitch for small, early contributions recently. I'm heartened that others are doing so as well. Several people have stepped up to start raising money for her on ActBlue. And other Hawai`i residents are speaking up. Please follow me below for a special message from Dr. Mark Mugiishi of Honolulu.
Early kokua.
I can confirm firsthand: Mazie Hirono is a doer, not a talker.
She's put in tireless work and countless hours to help Hawaii compete and succeed.
So I was eager to help her campaign for U.S. Senate do the same — compete and succeed — by joining Mazie's Ohana last weekend.
Will you join me as a member of Mazie's Ohana, too, by making an early contribution to her campaign?
As a surgeon focused on developing the next generation of biomedical technologies right here in Hawaii, I know how hard Mazie works to bring 21st-century jobs and innovation to our state.
She's genuinely interested in helping Hawaii compete in this space, and has taken the time to come and visit our research lab to witness our work firsthand.
She's also very accessible and has always been receptive to hearing what our needs are as a small business.
These are just some of the reasons that I fully support Mazie's campaign for the U.S. Senate.
Whatever your reasons for supporting Mazie may be — and there are so many to choose from — I hope you'll consider joining me as a member of Mazie's Ohana, too. Follow this link to contribute.
When it comes to getting good ideas off the ground — like I need to do, whether for novel biomedical technologies or new innovative ways to take care of patients — early funding is everything.
Mazie's campaign is no different. The early kokua of Mazie's Ohana members will allow her to make key investments in her campaign — and win her race for Senate.
Early funding is everything: Join Mazie's Ohana with me by making a contribution of any amount today.
Mazie's always worked so hard for Hawaii. Let's help her accomplish even more for us as our next U.S. Senator.
Mahalo,
Mark M. Mugiishi, MD, FACS
Proud member of Mazie's Ohana
Mahalo for listening to me and Dr. Mugiishi. I hope you'll consider joining us in Mazie's Ohana.
