If you didn’t know yet, our own Coach Reno was encouraged by the former District 28 State Representative incumbent, Daniel Holt, to run for state Representative this year.

District 28 includes our own neighborhoods of Kalihi, Palama, Liliha, Chinatown, Iwilei and Sand Island. Folks from all these areas and many more come through KBC.

Help support Coach Reno by following and more importantly, voting for him when the mail in ballots come in on July 21st. Also, please forward to your friends and family who live in the area.

If anybody running knows these areas, the challenges and the people, it’s Coach Reno.
