Meet Cristina Holt

Regular people representing regular people.

Hawaiʻi is at a turning point. The old pay-to-play system is failing, and the people of Hilo deserve more than business as usual.

Cristina Holt is a working class small business owner who has spent her years in this community serving local families, organizing neighbors, and fighting for the kind of honest, transparent government that actually works for regular people.

She doesn't take corporate money. She doesn't play political games. She is an open book, and she is ready to say the hard things out loud, even when it is uncomfortable, because that is what this moment demands.

Cristina is running for State House District 2 because the stakes are too high to sit on the sidelines hoping that business-as-usual will suddenly revolutionize itself to meet this moment.

What She's Fighting For

This is what we're fighting for.

Your Government, Your Voice.

Politicians who take corporate money stop working for you the moment they cash the check. It's that simple. Cristina refuses every dollar of corporate money and is committed to weekly office hours and monthly town halls in District 2, because your representative should be someone you can actually find, talk to, and hold accountable. Government isn't a career opportunity. It's a public trust. And it's time we started treating it that way.

One Job Should Be Enough

It is far past time we strengthen our unions, seize the means of production, stop wage theft, and raise the minimum wage to a living wage. Today working people in Hawaiʻi are juggling two, three, even four jobs just to survive. Unions built the middle class. Cristina will stand with organized labor every single time, because the people who do the work should be the ones who benefit from it.

Homes and Healthcare for Hilo

Every person deserves a roof over their head and the right to be healthy. Housing is a human right. Healthcare is a human right. And time is a human right. We cannot wait for the federal government to save us. So we build it ourselves. We take care of we. Universal healthcare. Housing for all. Paid family leave. Affordable childcare. Elder care that does not bankrupt families.

Peace Above All

War is a business. A very profitable one. For working people, it is a death sentence. Cristina opposes the use of our tax dollars to fund violence anywhere in the world, including Gaza. She will fight to end the Military Lease Extensions on stolen crown lands, demand the military clean up every drop of contamination they have left behind at Pōhakuloa and Red Hill, and push them out. Demilitarize Hawaiʻi. Completely.

Tax the Ultra Rich. Fund the Future.

Every single thing we are fighting for, housing, healthcare, free transit, living wages, paid family leave, can be paid for. The money exists. At the state level, Cristina will fight for a progressive conveyance tax that hits speculation and luxury property sales hard, a vacancy tax on investment properties and empty homes owned by people who do not live here, increased income tax rates on the highest earners in Hawaiʻi, and closing every loophole that lets outside investors and the ultra wealthy profit from our land while local families get priced out.
