Grassroots visit drives legislative action

Published in Blog on February 13, 2020 by Mark Kenneth White

Eight members of the Hawaii team prepare for their fifth capitol visit. Pictured left to right: Rita Kama-Kimura, Matt Satterlee (VOL), Katherine Kupukaha, Jack Van Osdol, Emil Svrcina (DC), Jan Tillmann (DC), Donna Van Osdol (FUT), Mark White (SD) and Brett Kulbis (GC).

Expecting House and Senate filing of the Convention of States resolution in just a matter of days, Team Hawaii paid another visit to the capitol on Wednesday, Feb 12.  

Working in four groups of two, the eight-member team visited all 76 legislative offices encouraging support for Convention of States by passing out a freshly minted set of Frequently Asked Questions, plus last year's bipartisan survey results.

                     Pictured left: Katherine and Jan are ready to visit their assigned offices. Right: Two important handouts help encourage support from Hawaii legislators. 

                 Pictured left: Rita and Mark (middle and second from right) visit COS sponsor and House Minority Leader Gene Ward's office managed by Diamond Garcia (far right) who will run this year for the House seat in District 43. Pictured right: James Stone, Office Manger for House Speaker Scott Saiki, poses with the Convention of States team.

Join the COSHI team each Wednesday in February at 1:15 p.m. at the capitol to help spread the word about Convention of States.
