Leimomi Khan Appointed 2020 Democratic Party of Hawaii Oʻahu County Council State Central Committee Female Representative
June 28, 2020
Aloha Leimomi,
I know I speak for all members of the Hawaiian Affairs Caucus in congratulating you on your appointment as the 2020 Democratic Party of Hawaii Oʻahu County Council State Central Committee Female Representative. Your ability to lead our Hawaiian democrats has been truly remarkable. You are inspiring a new generation of Hawaiians to serve and lead with Aloha, Kuleana, Hōʻihi, ʻOluʻolu, and Lokomaikaʻi.
Hoʻomaikaʻi!

HAC Chair Encourages Hawaiians Apply for Senate Representative Positions to SCC
Hawaiian Affairs Caucus Chair Encourages Native Hawaiians to Apply for Senate District 2, 14, 17, and 25 Representative Positions to the State Central Committee.
Aloha mai kākou,
My name is Juanita Mahi‘ena‘ena Brown Kawamoto and I am the Luna Ho‘omalu for the Hawaiian Affairs Caucus of the Democratic Party of Hawai’i. I am sending a kāhea to all Native Hawaiian Democrats in:
Senate Districts 2 – Hawaii Island, Kea‘au to Pāhoa
Senate District 14 – Liliha/Kapālama to Nina
Senate District 17 – Pearl City to Waipahū
Senate District 25 – Hawai‘i Kai to Waimānalo
The lau kanaka are in need of your leadership and service to inspire, inform and lead our communities to rise with aloha! The State Central Committee of the Democratic. Party of Hawai‘i is looking for leaders to come and help our people in these districts to work with these communities and help us understand what matters to the people of these moku as Senate District State Central Committee members.
In the past, I have had the honor and pleasure of representing the Environmental Caucus as Chair and SCC female representative, served as the O‘ahu County Council SCC female representative and now wishing to serve as an SCC member in my district where my ‘ohana live and thrive. I can speak from experience, to all who would serve, if you really want to see how our Democratic Party works and how you can be a voice for the many thousands of democrats who support the leadership of governance of our party, I highly recommend you sit and talk with your ohana and friends about getting involved to help make Hawai‘i nei a better place and live for today and tomorrow’s generations by becoming a State Central Committee member of the Democratic Party of Hawai‘i.
What is the SCC and what is the responsibility of an SCC member? Read the Constitution of the DPH @ hawaiidemocrats.org to get a good understanding of the power and duties of the SCC members.
State Central Committee Members or often called the “SCC” discuss, debate and support the greater lahui regarding important decisions on behalf of their Senate Districts or Caucuses of the DPH. The SCC representatives for each Senate District elects 2 representatives – (1) Non gender male and (1) Non gender female, in some cases a (1) male and (1) female from the designated District. Senate District SCC members are elected at every DPH State Convention. The SCC representatives for the Districts are elected by the delegates as they are designated by the bylaws of the DPH. The process is organized in a manner where becoming a SCC member requires party members to truly be active and serve their district, county and Caucus DPH members.
“Kūlia I ka nu‘u!” – Strive to reach the highest! – as passionately stated by our beloved, Queen Kapi‘olani Napelakapuokaka‘e and hānai mother to David Kawānanakoa – founding member of the Democratic Party of Hawai‘i.
Me ka mana‘o nui,

PS.
WE NEED YOU! If you have not already done so PLEASE take a couple of minutes today and complete the 2020 Census, which you can do on-line at https://2020census.gov/en.
We also need to ask that you go the extra mile and make sure that ALL of your friends, family, and neighbors have completed the 2020 Census. Hawai‘i was under-counted in 2010 and it cost us millions in federal dollars that in turn negatively impacted our schools, roads, and programs like food-stamps and Section 8 housing. To ensure Hawai‘i gets our fair share of federal funding we need to make sure EVERYONE is counted.
Hawai’i is behind almost every other state in completing the 2020 Census and we will need every Federal dollar in the years to come to help us recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
By responding today to the 2020 Census you will also ensure a Census worker doesn’t have to come knocking on your door once they get back to counting. For more information about the 2020
