Lower daily costs.
Reduce the cost of living by cutting wasteful spending, lowering unnecessary burdens on small businesses, and pursuing targeted tax relief on basic necessities.
Diamond Head to Hawaiʻi Kai
David A. Croswell for State Senate.
Anchored in faith, family, and freedom. Focused on affordability, accountability, and a stronger future for Hawaiʻi families.
Bringing a practical, accountable, and fresh voice to Senate District 9 — one rooted in faith, family, small business experience, and a desire to make Hawaiʻi a place where local families can thrive again.
Why I’m running
Hawaiʻi should be a place where local families can stay.
I’m a husband, father of three, and small business owner here in Hawaiʻi. My family is one of the main reasons I’m running. I want my children — and all our children — to have a real future here, a future rooted in purpose and opportunity.
I believe that this election should not be about partisan politics but should be about whether the current direction of our government is working and whether people are satisfied with the results.
If voters in my district think Hawaiʻi needs more accountability, transparency, balance, and practical leadership, I humbly ask them to take a serious look at who will best serve the people.
I also believe government works best when it includes a range of voices and points of view. Our Founders did not establish a constitutional republic to function as a rubber stamp. They understood the importance of representation, debate, checks and balances, and protecting individual rights from government overreach.
For me, that means defending First Amendment freedoms, even when speech or beliefs are unpopular or uncomfortable; respecting the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens to protect themselves and their families; strengthening families; limiting government overreach; and preserving the constitutional republic our Founders established.
Ultimately, I am not asking people to vote based on a party label. I am asking them to look at the issues, look at the results, and decide whether Hawaiʻi needs a different voice at the Capitol.

Read the detailed prioritiesNo fiscal note, no vote.
Require greater transparency, stronger oversight, and clearer fiscal responsibility from our government. Taxpayers should know what major legislation costs, who pays for it, and how results will be measured.
Keep local families rooted here.
Protect constitutional rights, respect parents, and support policies that create safer neighborhoods, stronger schools, and more opportunities for families to stay and thrive in Hawaiʻi.
The choice
Accountability at the Capitol.
After years of one-party control, Hawaiʻi is still too expensive, housing is still out of reach, families are still leaving, and government still passes major bills without clear cost estimates.
