Will Espero, Retired State Senator
Markus is a refreshing new face and choice for ‘Ewa Beach. His work experience and background will benefit our community at the state legislature. Please consider Markus in the upcoming November 3 General Election.
Lynn Robinson-Onderko, ‘Ewa Beach
I support Markus because he’s known to be a team player that gets results. His experience working in government gives him a greater understanding about how to get state resources to the community. Markus will work hard for all of us. He’s clearly the best choice for Senate District 20.
