Current Kaua’i County Council

Aloha! E Komo Mai!

This site is designed for you to learn how your Kauai County Council has voted on the important issues that affect our daily lives on Kaua`i.

We, the people of Kauai, have elected these people to represent us. We pay their salaries, and therefore they are working for us, as public servants.

It’s important that we look closely at their performances in those elected positions, how the issues are debated and decided regarding Affordable Housing and Climate Change. Of the many problems facing our Island, these two issues seemed to be critical, and we’d like to focus on those here.

Most people are too busy working and raising families to watch long reruns of council meetings, so our investigative team researched tapes of council meetings and reviewed committee transcripts to document voting and performance of our current council members.

**Please Note: This site only reflects voting records on Affordable Housing & Climate Change at this moment in time. We hope to update with other issues as soon as possible **
