About
Hawaiʻi Conservatives is an independent expenditure-only political action committee (Super PAC) registered with the State of Hawaii Campaign Spending Commission, receiving the majority of its funds from Hawaiʻi-based individuals and businesses.
We are a conservative grassroots organization who fights to preserve and protect the values of life, liberty, property, and prosperity for the people of Hawaiʻi. We operate off of the generosity of like-minded, small donors from across our Islands.
Donors partner with us because we magnify the impact of their giving by combining it with other donors in laser-focused activities to win victories for our cause, with the long-term goal of fundamentally changing and improving Hawaiʻi’s government over time. Think of us as your mutual fund for investing in Hawaiʻi’s future.
Your donation will be used to conduct polls and advertise conservative candidates & causes through print, mail, digital, radio, TV, and door-to-door canvassing.
“We don't have a trillion-dollar debt because we haven't taxed enough; we have a trillion-dollar debt because we spend too much.”
President Ronald Reagan
What We Believe
We believe in upholding the U.S. Constitution and the inherent rights endowed to us by our Creator and documented in the Declaration of Independence. We believe in protecting and preserving Hawaiian history and culture, and the principles upheld by the founders of the United States. We believe in limited and accountable government, responsible spending, and lower taxes. We believe in the intrinsic value and sovereignty of the individual human being from conception to natural death. We believe that capitalism is the only economic system compatible with political liberty.
We support policies that promote economic growth, attract business activity, increase individuals’ buying power and reduce the cost of living, create opportunities for home ownership, confront corruption, preserve the role and rights of parents, address homelessness, and protect our communities from crime.
