ABOUT ME
Aloha, I'm Ashley.
A devoted wife, proud mother, teacher, and small business owner of Kūpa‘a Homeschool Academy. Our community thrives on values like respect and aloha. Driven by a profound sense of duty, I step forward as a candidate for State House District 5. I'm not seeking merely a title but rather an opportunity to revive the essence of our community. As your voice, I pledge to uphold the values that have defined us, fostering a return to the unity and compassion we once shared. Iʻve lived in District 5 since I was four years old and am blessed to raise my family here. As the 2021 West Hawaii Teacher of the Year, Iʻve seen the need for change within the public school system. I will work for accountability, transparency, and fairness for students and families within the school system. I stand for parental rights and believe that students and families deserve to be a part of educational decisions that impact them. I envision communities where families are respected and supported when it comes to their decisions on education and parental rights, food sustainability, and community and land preservation. I believe that proper maintenance of public roadways and community infrastructure have been overlooked and needs immediate attention. We need to take care of the families who are fighting to keep Hawaiʻi as their home. We need to invest in our people NOW so that there is a FUTURE to look forward to.
