BIO: I was first elected to office in 2012 as a Republican from my hometown, Mililani. I recently resigned my GOP affiliation and am seeking membership in the Democratic Party for reasons I'm sure this AMA audience has already read about. So rather than go into those details, here are some other things about me.

Favorite bands: The Killers & Panic! At the Disco, Choice Netflix binge: Gilmore Girls, Most recent Netflix binge: The Crown, Favorite books: Kafka on the Shore & Great Expectations, Education: I was a level 70 blood elf paladin during my M.A. program at Georgetown where I studied the impacts of MMORPGs and other pop culture phenomenon on our national narratives.

I'm also pretty interested in public policy and politics.

Ask me anything.
