Dr. Kimo Alameda at The Negotiation Table

Hear Dr. Kimo Alameda’s plans for Hawaii County in the latest episode of The Negotiation Table! He’s quite familiar with county government, having served in the administrations of Mayors Billy Kenoi and Harry Kim.

Dr. Alameda faces a tough race for Hawaii County mayor against incumbent opponent Mitch Roth whose administration has led to an uptick in routine contract violations and left the county workforce feeling demoralized.
