Questions from participants: "How will money play in this race? And in this digital world we now live in, how can donors feel secure that when they want to give to a candidate it will safely get to them?" #Inouye#TalkStory
"I got in the first time completely because of touch. Knocking on doors, asking them not for their vote but just their consideration! It all came down to touch and connecting with people. Absent that now, I wouldn't have had a chance." Gov Abercrombie
"Money is more important than ever this year." You need money to pay for electronic communications, social media. If you don't have that it's hard to get in the game. New mail in voting also compresses the time you have to get out there-Colin Moore
"How will you fundraise? How will you go out & meet people?" You used to be able to go door to door, canvass, hold coffee hours. Televised forums are now becoming the first time they can actually see all the candidates in one place. We're all learning as we go forward-Mayor Kenoi

What an inspirational morning at our Daniel K Inouye Student Film Initiative & Future Filmmakers Showcase w/@HIFF! So inspiring to see our youth share their insights, hopes & vision for Hawaii going into our next 40 years of #statehood. #Inouye#HIFF39
Panel & audience focused on the question about why Hawaii is not welcoming of Micronesians & given our history, why don't we have an established process for the most recent arrivals to Hawaii. Lack of cultural understanding both ways contributes to the tension.
Question from audience about the abhorrent policy of detaining children & separating them from their parents. Claire Hanusz: "The damage done will live on for generations."
“We really do a lot of handholding,” says former deputy director of the Pacific Gateway Center Terrina Wong of the agency’s work resettling refugees. “The system is so complex, you just have to be with them and explain every single step along the way.”
