  Beyond the Top of the Ballot: Voting with Confidence in Hawaiʻi

  Sep 25, 202629 minS5

  You know your choice for governor—but what about OHA, City Council, and the amendment questions further down your ballot? This week on Faith and Family First, Eva Andrade and Marcus Oshiro explore why voters skip less familiar races and what can help them make informed choices. Drawing on a national survey by George Barna, they discuss the information gap behind unfinished ballots and what those findings might mean for Hawaiʻi. The conversation covers how to evaluate voter guides, compare information sources, look beyond social media echo chambers, and research candidates and ballot questions before voting. Eva and Marcus also share their perspectives on leaving a race or question blank and the importance of thoughtful, respectful civic engagement. Join us for a practical conversation about faith, discernment, and the decisions closest to home. Find voter resources at hawaiifamilyforum.org.

Eva Andrade and Marcus Oshiro welcome Bradley Kerr, Government Affairs Director for Americans United for Life, for a conversation marking 50 years of the Hyde Amendment.

Brad also shares how one freshman congressman helped shape a lasting pro-life legacy. The conversation closes with practical ways to put faith into action: ask candidates meaningful questions, build relationships with elected officials, and support women and families facing difficult pregnancies.

  We the People Includes You: Faith, Freedom & the Constitution

  Sep 14, 202628 minS5

  You can criticize the government, practice your faith, and speak up about the laws that affect your family. But how well do you understand the Constitution behind those freedoms? For Constitution Week, Eva Andrade and Marcus Oshiro explore what the U.S. and Hawaii constitutions mean for everyday life. They break down the three branches of government, discuss the First Amendment and the Electoral College, and share a behind-the-scenes Hawaii story about a governor’s veto—and the legislature’s decision to push back. Along the way, they consider why trust matters in advocacy, how to disagree without losing a friendship, and practical ways families can learn more and get involved. Because “We the People” includes you. Want a free pocket Constitution? Email Eva at eva@hawaiifamilyforum.org while supplies last.

  When Every Vote Counts: Election Ties, Hawaiʻi’s Political Direction and the Meth Crisis

  Sep 4, 202628 min

  What happens when an election ends in an exact tie? Eva and Marcus examine two remarkable Hawaiʻi primary races decided by the drawing of lots—including the legal challenge involving House District 43. They discuss voter confidence, ballot-count questions and whether lawmakers should consider a different way to resolve tied elections. The conversation then turns to Hawaiʻi’s broader political direction. Do recent results indicate growing support for democratic socialism, or does Hawaiʻi’s electorate remain more moderate than national observers assume? Finally, Eva and Marcus confront Hawaiʻi’s continuing crystal meth crisis and its devastating effects on individuals, families and communities. They consider treatment capacity, government accountability, recreational marijuana policy and the distinct roles churches and government can play in prevention, recovery and compassionate—but firm—support for people struggling with addiction.
