A Clear Choice for District 18's Future
The Hawaii Republican Party's recent nomination of Michel Gedeon, Alexander Malabey, and Tara Gregory to fill the vacant House District 18 seat underscores the party's recognition of diverse talents within our community. Each nominee brings unique experiences and qualifications to the table.https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com
Michel Gedeon, a lifelong Hawaii Kai resident, has over two decades in business and has supported numerous political campaigns through strategic branding and grassroots engagement. Alexander Malabey, also a Kaiser High School graduate, is a small business owner and former office manager at the Hawaii State Capitol, with experience influencing key legislation. Tara Gregory is a nationally recognized marketing consultant and wellness entrepreneur with a strong background in corporate and grassroots arenas.https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com
While these individuals have commendable backgrounds, it's essential to consider who can best represent District 18's unique needs and aspirations. As someone deeply rooted in this community, I bring a fresh perspective and an unwavering commitment to transparency, ethical leadership, and genuine public service. My focus is on addressing the real concerns of our residents, from affordable housing to sustainable development, ensuring that our district thrives for generations to come.
As we approach the 2026 elections, I invite you to join me in shaping a future that truly reflects the values and priorities of District 18.A Familiar Name, A Missed Opportunity
The recent appointment of Joe Gedeon to fill the late Rep. Gene Ward's seat in House District 18 has raised eyebrows among constituents seeking genuine change. While Gedeon's background in marketing and advertising is notable, many question whether this experience translates into effective legislative leadership.

Gedeon's involvement in over 80 political campaigns, as reported by Hawaii News Now, suggests a deep entrenchment in the existing political framework. This extensive political networking indicates a continuation of the status quo rather than the fresh perspective our district desperately needs. https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com
In contrast, my commitment to transparency, community engagement, and challenging entrenched interests sets me apart. I am not beholden to longstanding political alliances, allowing me to prioritize the needs and voices of our community above all else.
As we look toward the 2026 primaries, the choice becomes clear: continue with familiar patterns or embrace a candidate dedicated to transformative change.
