Support Our Supporters: Gary Hooser


State Sen. Gary Hooser has personally backed our beach access efforts from the very start. On Groundhog Day 2008 (above photo) he was the only elected official to show up at our rally in front of the Capitol building. This year, he again worked with us in trying to get legislation passed that would protect shoreline access -- but other legislators chose to do nothing, as usual.

Gary has announced that he is running for Lt. Governor in the 2010 elections (click here to visit his home page) and will be holding a kick-off rally on Tues., June 9 at Ke'ehi Lagoon, DAV Hall. Although he's asking for $25 per ticket for the fundraiser, I can give you FREE tickets that he has offered to Beach Access Hawaii.

Email me at richfigel@gmail.com, if you'd like tickets. There will be food and entertainment, and Gary promises to put the "fun" back in fundraiser. As our future Lt. Governor, maybe he can help persuade the next Governor to take action on protecting our beaches and shoreline access... something our current Governor apparently doesn't think is worth her time.
