Biden and Democrats' trillions in wasteful spending is punishing families across the mainland as well as right here at home. As the cost of living continues to rise and real wages continue to fall, all Americans are struggling to keep up. Democrats and the current administration are making life harder for us, not better. If we want different results, we need to change the way we vote.
The good news is that House Republicans are leading by setting out a bold agenda with four clear steps to hold Biden and Democrats accountable for two years of failure. This agenda will achieve a Strong Economy, a Safe Nation, a Free America, and an Accountable Government.
Below is a brief update on things happening in our nation through the Republican lens of the RNC and have an impact on Hawaii. It is brought to you by your National Committeewoman and National Committeeman.
HOUSE REPUBLICANS' COMMITMENT TO AMERICA
House Republicans have set out a bold agenda with four clear steps to hold Biden and Democrats accountable for two years of failure. This agenda will achieve a Strong Economy, a Safe Nation, a Free America, and an Accountable Government.
The House Republican Plan for a Strong Economy:
Fight inflation and lower the cost of living;
Reduce gas prices and make America energy independent;
Fix our supply chain and end dependence on China.
The House Republican Plan for a Safe Nation:
Secure the southern border;
Reduce crime and stop fentanyl;
Defend our national security.
The House Republican Plan for a Free America:
Ensure every American child has the tools to succeed;
Empower longer, healthier lives;
Confront big tech and advance free speech.
The House Republican Plan for an Accountable Government:
Hold Joe Biden and his administration accountable;
Preserve our constitutional freedoms;
Ensure fair elections and restore the People’s voice.
Democrat one-party rule has made life worse for American citizens:
Skyrocketing prices, higher taxes, and a broken supply chain;
Rampant crime, an open border, and a deadly drug crisis;
A government weaponized against its citizens and silencing free speech;
Unaccountable elected officials attempting to undermine election laws – if they even show up for work.
By electing Republicans to majorities in the House and Senate, we will deliver:
Lower prices and more money in your pocket;
Safer communities, support for police, and an end to the border crisis;
Parent involvement in education and school choice;
Free, fair, and transparent elections and government oversight.

September Jobs Report and Biden's Failing Economy
Last Friday’s jobs report is little consolation to Americans struggling to afford gas, groceries, and other basic goods as their paychecks continue to shrink.
Inflation ate up any wage gains in September, meaning workers' paychecks are shrinking.
The economy added just 263,000 jobs, making this the worst jobs report of the year.
Despite this, Biden and Congressional Democrats passed their Bidenflation Scam designed to raise taxes on families during a recession and hire 87,000 new IRS agents that will go after the middle class.
1.4 million workers were unable to work in September because their employer was closed or had lost business because of the pandemic.
46% of small business owners say there are job openings they cannot fill – double the 48-year historical average.
The American people see just how bad things are and overwhelmingly blame Biden for his poor handling of the economy.
Biden inherited a robust recovery and has turned it into a recession.
More than half of voters believe Biden has weakened the economy.
Inflation has wiped out wages every month since April 2021, right after Biden wasted $1.9 trillion of taxpayer money.
U.S. average gas prices sit above $3.89 per gallon, more than $1.50 higher than when Biden became president.
The bottom line:
Biden is to blame for this disastrous economy. He inherited a robust economy and has turned it into one where inflation has wiped out wage growth, gas prices remain uncomfortably high, and polls show that Americans believe that the country is heading in the wrong direction. In November, the American people will hold Biden and Democrats accountable for their destructive economic agenda – they’ll elect Republicans up and down the ballot who will fight for more jobs, faster economic growth, and higher wages.
Law Enforcement Backs Republican Candidates
As Democrats push disastrous soft-on-crime policies, law enforcement officers are overwhelmingly supporting law-and-order Republican candidates.
Republicans will always fight for safe communities, law and order, and a secure border. In November, Americans will hold Democrats accountable for their unacceptable and reckless policies.
Over these last few months as our candidates have been canvassing in their districts, meeting neighbors and talking with voters, they've been hearing from constituents on the issues that concern them most. Among these are:
Inflation/High Prices/Cost of Living
Corruption
Crime
The high cost of living in Hawai'i has become the norm for local families, thanks to 60 years of one-party rule. And you only need read the local headlines to understand how corrupt our local government has become. As for crime, both chambers of the Hawaii legislature passed a NO CASH BAIL BILL HB 1567 that would have eliminated the use of monetary bail and required defendants to be released on their own recognizance for certain non-violent offenses. GOV. Ige had the good sense to veto the bill, but the point must be made that our sitting Legislators had no issue putting the safety of our residents at risk over criminals' rights.
Senator Fred Hemmings recently said, "Continuing to vote for Democrats in Hawaii and expecting different results is the definition of insanity."
We are fighting to bring positive and meaningful change to our state through a new crop of candidates, but we need your support to push them over the finish line. You can make a difference by reaching out to your candidate and offering to help make phone calls, knock doors, drop literature and sign-wave.
Please do what you can to Get Out the Vote for Republicans. Hawaii deserves better!
Imua!
