I would like to extend my deep and sincere thank you for your support.  I am truly blessed to have been given the opportunity and the responsibility to serve as the next state representative of this phenomenal and unique community.

I want you to know that I do not take this responsibility lightly.  As the first Tongan elected official ever elected in the State of Hawaii and the second in the United States, I feel an incredible responsibility not only to my family and heritage, but also to the our district and our State.  I look forward to continuing to work for the security, prosperity and legacy of the unique communities with District 47.  I also look forward to working with every one in our district, whether or not they supported me, to fulfill my responsibility as your state representative.

I will be in touch with you as we begin to organize in time for the legislative session in January of 2013 and share details about my legislative contact information so we can get to work.  In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to contact me at info[at]richardfale.com with any questions or concerns you have.  Please also feel free to email me with any upcoming events, issues or concerns from you or community organizations that you’re involved with.

Again, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so very much for putting your faith in me.  Now, let’s get to work!

This past Tuesday, September 11th, marked not only the 11th anniversary of the September 11th attacks on America as well as the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Iniki, to date the most devastating hurricane to ever hit the Hawaii Islands.

We started passing out this disaster preparedness flier around our communities to help our neighbors think about and prepare for a natural disaster.  Now is the best time to make sure you, your household and your community are getting ready.

We also handed out Hurricane Iniki commemorative pogs!  The pog craze has its roots in our community; its revival in the early 1990s is credited to Waialua Elementary teacher Blossom Galbiso, who used the game to teach her students math.  Click here to learn how to play the game of pogs and click here to read an article about the game’s roots in Waialua.
