Living for years on the same block in Wailua Houselots we were blessed with a safe and loving neighborhood in a community full of aloha.

With both of us working in helping professions we are further blessed with opportunities to meet and work with people from all over the island.

Kaua`i is in a critical time when we all need to contribute to face the serious challenges that our successes have brought. We all want to keep Kaua`i a unique and special place and at the same time provide opportunities for our children to stay home and prosper. With no simple answers at hand we need thoughtful, creative and hardworking leadership to accomplish the task.

I have always believed that people working together can make good collective decisions and accomplish great things. The Kamalani projects and the improvements at Lydgate Park are wonderful examples. Actively working in partnership with government is a better model than just criticizing or waiting for government to move. Through my work with individuals, families and communities, I have found the best practice is to first listen, then seek agreement, and finally act decisively to get things done.

Since being elected to Council I have strived to provide calm, balanced and thoughtful leadership as we deal with the matters before us.  I am honored and humbled by the opportunity to serve the people of Kauai and welcome your input on current issues or feedback on my role as your representative in County government.  Don't hesitate to call me on my cell phone 652-4575 or email me at tim@timbynum.com.  If re-elected, I pledge to work hard with you every day.  I humbly ask for your support and one of your seven votes.

Warmest Aloha,
