Ep.#8: Choon James- A Campaign for Truth, Justice and Ethical Government
Episode 8
Sunday, 2 February, 2020
My special guest for episode #8 is Choon James. She is a licensed real estate broker in Hawaii and has a B.A. in English and TESL as a minor from BYU - Hawaii Choon is originally from Singapore and has been involved in various environment and social justice causes for decades. She has been actively participating at Honolulu Hale for the past 12 years. She is a founding member of both the Defend Oahu Coalition and Save Oahu Farmlands. She is on the Ko'olauloa Sustainable Communities Planning Advisory Committee Kahuku Hospital Board of Directors Laie Point Community Association President & Board Member BYU-Hawaii/CCH Alumni Association President Shes a member of the Sierra Club An Amnesty International Freedom Writer Shes the Host of - Country Talk Story - which airs on Olelo Public Television And shes also a North Shore News columnist Just as a heads up, this is not a political podcast or episode, but I found Choon’s story very compelling. Choon’s been a lifelong activist, and has also recently thrown her hat into the ring, in running for Mayor of Honolulu in 2020. As a differentiator from most or all of her opponents, She's not accepting donations from Lobbyists or PACs, and in our conversation, much of her focus in running, is on restoring ethics to government. Choon has a unique voice in the political arena and is laser focused on bringing an efficient, inclusive, ethical government to the city of Honolulu. She also wants to bring back a strong sense of fiscal responsibility and accountability to city spending. We had fun doing this episode but unfortunately my SD card failed halfway through the interview and we had mic issues throughout. I managed to salvage the episode however but I had to do a little more editing than I normally like to and the sound quality suffered so I apologize for that. That being said, I hope you guys enjoy this conversation with, Choon James!
