Wise Words:

“When you love, you care, and when you care, you act.”

Fun Facts:

• Loves to Surf

 

• Her Father, Mike Gabbard is Hawaii's U.S. State Senator. 

 

• She serves in the Hawaii Army National Guard

 

• Volunteered to deploy to Iraq when her combat team was called to serve. (She wasn't on the mandatory list so she didn't have to.)

Some Things She Stands For:
​

• Climate Change: Stands behind "One of the most aggressive pieces of climate change legislation in Congress, Gabbard’s “OFF Fuels for a Better Future Act” would mandate a dramatic move away from fossil fuels. The plan would require electric utilities to use 80 percent renewable resources by 2027 and 100 percent by 2035."​ Source: PBS 

 

• Less Military Presence in Foreign Conflicts: "Gabbard believes the U.S. should be less involved in foreign conflicts and have a smaller troop presence in many places around the world. She has specifically called on the U.S. military to pull out of Afghanistan, arguing that American troops completed their mission there andallow the country to chart its own course." Source: PBS

 

• Free Education: "She backs Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ proposal to cut or eliminate higher education tuition for most Americans. She would make community college tuition-free for all Americans, and four-year public colleges tuition-free for students whose families make $125,000 or less per year. The plan would pay for that tuition by imposing a new tax on stock and bond trades." Source: PBS
