Limited campaign

Amy Petterson

Youngest candidate; fifth-generation Maui Nui resident

Evidence confidence: Moderate on stated proposal; low overall

The case for the candidacy

Offers a specific land-restoration concept and a firsthand affordability narrative.

The central risk

The gap between a promising ecological idea and management of a billion-dollar county government is substantial and not yet bridged by evidence.

Campaign thesis

Affordability and ecological flood/fire mitigation using water bunds or “earth smiles.”

Campaign finance context

Reported among candidates under $1,000 raised and spent.

Bill 9 position

No sufficiently documented position located in reviewed sources.

Questions that remain unanswered

  • Where would the bund program be piloted and at what cost?
  • What evidence applies to Maui soils and rainfall?
  • What executive team and broader platform would support the administration?
