Music & film create higher skilled jobs for students and for working class families. Policymakers & stakeholders need to focus resources on the development of infrastructure in the entertainment industry to build studios, to keep our production teams busy and to create opportunities for collaboration so we can sustain active productions in the State. 03 Agriculture & Economic Development People in Hawaii love to eat! And who doesn't love a good farmer's market? Economic development should enhance opportunities for our families and provide jobs & markets the people of Hawaii actually love doing such as eating food and growing food. Working with Hawaii's agriculture industry, we can create sustainable jobs in food, restaurant, hospitality & hotel industries while supporting local farms, assisting small businesses, improving the quality of nutrition and producing more locally sourced foods. 04 Public safety, crime & homelessness Public safety, crime & homelessness are concerns Angela is not afraid to tackle.
