Kim Coco Iwamoto’s response she posted on FaceBook (see below) to the Honolulu Star-Advertiser article announcing my decision to step down as Vice-Chair of the Democratic Party of Hawaii and my endorsement of her campaign to the State House of Representatives, brought a tear to my eye and warmth to my heart.
“This is one of the most moving endorsements I have ever received. Thank you Gary Hooser for stepping down in order to raise me up. I don’t mean to be reductive about either of our unique lived experiences, BUT DAMN, Gary!: You might be the first middle-aged, heterosexual, white man to give up such power and access to support a middle-aged, bisexual, transwoman of color to step up to power!#FeministRecoveryPlan #RaisingUpWomen #transgender #PostTimesUp #AlliesInAction #ButDamnGary”

This blog represents my thoughts as an individual person and does not represent the official position of any organization I may be affiliated with. I presently serve as volunteer President of the Hawaii Alliance for Progressive Action (H.A.P.A.) www.hapahi.org I am the former Vice-Chair of the Democratic Party of Hawaii. In another past life, I was an elected member of the Kauai County Council, a Hawaii State Senator, and Majority Leader, and the Director of Environmental Quality Control for the State of Hawaii - in an even earlier incarnation I was an entrepreneur and small business owner. Yes, I am one of the luckiest guys on the planet.

“Come to the edge.”
“We can’t. We’re afraid.”
“Come to the edge.”
“We can’t. We will fall!”
“Come to the edge.”
And they came.
And he pushed them.
And they flew.
