CONGRESS

1) Do you believe that the United States government should formally acknowledge the special legal and political status of Native Hawaiians, as it has done for Native American and Alaska Native groups? If so, what would you do to secure such acknowledgment for Native Hawaiians? If not, why not?

2) What are some examples of actions that you have personally taken to better the conditions of Native Hawaiians?

3) How would you address challenges to future reauthorization of the Native Hawaiian Health Care Act and the Native Hawaiian Education Act?
