Tasha Kama is Presiding Officer Pro Tempore of the Maui County Council, and she holds the Council seat for the Kahului residency area.  Writing a description for this episode is extremely difficult, because I don\'t want to come off as too bias, but it is no secret that I am a fan. Councilmember Kama is not the type of person that immediately comes to mind when you think "politician," but that is what makes her so exceptional in my book. Having raised 11 children on Maui and spent years as an activist and community organizer well before seeking political office, it is undeniable that CM Kama is deeply rooted in the Maui community and is genuinely committed to making Maui a better place. Regardless of whether you agree with CM Kama\'s approach to politics or not, she is someone who is certainly deserving of respect and admiration. I\'m going to go ahead and think of this episode a "Thanksgiving Special," because it felt more like I was getting together with my favorite auntie than conducting an interview. Seriously, after I stopped recording she gave me lemon bars and we chatted about Christmas decorations. I hope you enjoy this episode, and I am thankful for all you folks who keep listening.
