To my cherished ‘ohana, friends, and supporters,

With a mixture of emotions, I share the decision to step away from my pursuit of elected office. Through restless nights and deep reflection, I've come to the realization that the most effective means of instigating immediate change in our community is by taking action now, rather than waiting until January 2025.

Stay tuned to learn about my new endeavor: an initiative grounded in our shared kuleana, dedicated to safeguarding, nurturing, and revitalizing our island. While I maintain that government isn't solely responsible for our challenges, I firmly believe it's a vital piece of the puzzle.

My chosen path forward is one of dedication and cooperation, relying on hard work and genuine kokua. I earnestly invite you to join me on this new journey.

With gratitude and hope,
Jackie Keefe
