“I was born and raised in Ninole. For a time I left to serve in the US Peace Corps and also continue my education. I moved back to Ninole in 1980. My most valuable influence was growing up in a cohesive plantation community, all connected like a lei, from Wainakau to Kukuihaele. We were once Hamakua strong, but not anymore. Heather Kimball will make us whole again. She will be the string sewing us together into a Community-First District.”
— Bob Nishimoto
