Brian Schatz Officially Announces His Candidacy
for Chairman of the Democratic Party of Hawaii

February 19 was an extraordinary event in Hawaii's political history - with 37,000 people participating and tens of thousands of new members of the Democratic Party.  Our job as a Party is to make sure that this was not a one-time phenomenon, but rather the beginning of a resurgence in grassroots political activity in Hawaii. 

In order to make this as meaningful as it can be, we have to engage these members of the Party - give them ways to participate, financially, politically, and legislatively. They have to know that we need their involvement, and they have to be shown how their actions can make a difference.

The Party has some serious financial challenges. I'm familiar with the difficulties of funding political operations and nonprofits, so one of our goals must be long-term solvency, fiscal prudence, and financial sustainability.  It's a change year, and it's a change election, and the Democrats are in the best position to deliver change for Hawaii.

I humbly ask for your consideration. 

Mahalo,

Brian Schatz
