Loomis-ISC VP for Public Affairs Kicks-off Campaign for Lieutenant Governor of Hawai‘i
Loomis-ISC Vice President for Public Affairs, Gary Hooser(D) could very well be Hawai‘i’s next Lieutenant Governor. The Democratic State Senate Majority Leader kicked-off his statewide campaign for 2010 Lieutenant Governor with a very well-attended fundraising event held recently on O‘ahu. The candidate told supporters that he has his eye on one assignment over all others:
“In a state with abundant sunshine, steady trade winds and the potential for wave, ocean and geo-thermal energy, we should clearly be the world’s leader in the development, testing, use, and export of renewable energy technology,” said Hooser. “If elected, this will be the first job I request of the new Governor. I will ask him or her to let me help lead the way in making Hawai‘i energy self-sufficient.”
As Senate Majority Leader, Hooser authored and successfully passed the nation’s first solar mandate bill, requiring all new homes built in Hawai‘i to be outfitted with solar hot water heaters.
During his rally, Hooser stressed his belief in equality for all, his support of universal access to healthcare and education, his belief that drug addiction is primarily a public health issue and the urgent need to build environmental awareness and energy independence.
The first of its kind in Hawai‘i, Senator Gary Hooser’s campaign for 2010 Lieutenant Governor is a carbon neutral campaign. A longtime advocate of sustainability and the environment in the Senate, Hooser has committed to offset all C02 generated by his campaign by purchasing carbon credits from local companies doing reforestation and clean energy development.
