Civil Beat - Q&A with Manu Powers

Mahalo to Civil Beat for the opportunity to share where I stand on the issues facing Hawaiʻi County and District 7.

My priorities are rooted in building a more affordable, resilient, and sustainable future. That means improving infrastructure, addressing permitting barriers, creating more housing opportunities, strengthening disaster preparedness, supporting local food systems, investing in renewable energy, and making sure community voices are part of the decisions that shape our future.

As someone raised here, who has built a business and raised a family here, I carry a deep sense of kuleana to this place and our people.

District 7 deserves leadership that listens, plans ahead, and works to protect the future of Hawaiʻi Island for generations to come.
