Brenton Awa opens campaign for State Senate by telling his own story

The former television news anchor is running to represent Kahaluu through the North Shore in the State Senate.

Brenton Awa spent the past two months walking door to door throughout District 23, visiting more than 11,000 homes while passing out flyers and talking with residents about the issues they face in our communities.

"I'm not politician," said Awa. "I have no plans to make a career out of this, but I am ready to sacrifice and serve, ready to put local people over politics 100 percent of the time. Ready to stand up against greed and help limit the influential power of money."
