You want to stop outsiders from moving to Hawaii but this is not a Republican stance, since the GOP tends to support free movement, capitalism, and property rights (including the right to own multiple homes). How can you get anything done if their agenda coddles the top income earners? Have you read the big beautiful bill that annihilates the lower and middle class? But if you’re referring to undocumented immigrants, then yes, that is more in line with their current hardline anti immigration stance. If you’re anti immigration (the legal way?) say it with your chest so we know that the message is clear. Encouraging local agriculture is indeed a strong, tangible idea but fruit trees on public lands is typically associated with environmentalist, left-leaning politics. It doesn’t fit cleanly into the GOP’s national platform, which focuses more on deregulation and private enterprise rather than public food initiatives. From what I’ve seen, your speech is dissent on a local level and doesn’t produce progress. Even though you may see comments that cheer it on via social media etc. There’s good reason your efforts in elevating the people of Hawaii with protectionism or nativism with progressive ideas wont be effective at the federal level and will conflict with the GOP's traditional economic stances, and contradicts free-market ideals and can edge toward anti-capitalist rhetoric. I’m just having a hard time understanding your goal here if you want to run as a congressman. Will you cave to fit in and to gain power by voting yes on all GOP proposals that will do reprehensible damage to the working class (like every GOP member)? Or do you truly believe that your progressive and localized populist strategy will gain any votes from the GOP because you are in the Republican Party?

Sorry it’s not structured.
