image I have known Neil since the early 1970's when he would come into my chiropractic office. I was impressed then and continued to be impressed over the years with his sincere interest and genuine concern for people no matter what their walk of life. I believe no other candidate for Governor has the experience, the know how and proven capability to do the job like Neil. He will make a great Governor. Aloha, Dennis Momyer

Rev. Dennis Kamakahi

image I am an ordained minister and a professional Hawaiian musician, composer, recording artist, two time Grammy Awards winner, a multiple Na Hoku Hanohano Awards winner, actor, and will be inducted into the Hawaiian Music Hall of Fame in September of 2009. I am greatly concerned about the ecology of Hawai'i, the management and protection of wildlife, both in the ocean and on land, a staunch supporter of Hawaiian sovereignty and Native Hawaiian rights, and those issues concerning our senior citizens in Hawai'i.
I support Neil and his campaign to become Governor of Hawai'i because he has proven that he can get the job done. By his dedication and hard work in the House of Representatives in Washington D.C, he has been a mover of many important bills affecting Hawai'i. I have written Neil many times in Washington about concerns that I have had and he has always responded to me as to where a certain bill stands and what course it may take, whether favorable or unfavorable. It is this kind of concern for his constituents is why I supported him as my Congressman and why I definitely support him as the next Governor of Hawai'i.

Mahalo,
Rev. Dennis Kamakahi

Scott K. Wong

image I am from Kaimuki, Oahu. I am Currently a Realtor with Coldwell Banker. I worked in the Film Industry as a technician and as the Business Representative and I also served 10 years in the US Marines. What I care about is Justice for Fathers in the Family Court System, An overhaul of Child support Guidelines, Hawaiian Native issues and ways to think outside the box to create revenue for the State of Hawaii.

I support Neil's Campaign because when I was the Business Agent for the IATSE Local 665, we had an issue with getting film through the exray machines at the airport for Japanese productions companies. One phone call to Neil and he got all the powers that be to get the job done and save our Japanese commercial industry from a complete breakdown. He's a person that's there for me, and I want to be there for him. I also feel that I need to get involved with government to effect change that I want to see for the rest of my constituents...
