SENATOR DAN INOUYE ENDORSES DON COUCH FOR SOUTH MAUI COUNCIL SEAT
Speaking before an enthusiastic crowd of 200 people at a rally at the VFW Kihei Clubhouse Senator Daniel Inouye asked Don Couch, candidate for the South Maui Council seat, to come onto the stage and stand with the Senator as he urged the crowd to support Couch in his race against long time politician Wayne Nishiki.
“Don Couch is not a politician,” said Inouye. “Don is for the people. He’s for jobs for you and for the best health care for you.”
“I am deeply gratified by the endorsement of Senator Inouye. He is a hero to all of us on Maui and has served his country in war and peace with honor and dignity. His support of my campaign is another indication of the importance of this election and the critical need to move forward with real change and not get mired in the politics of the past,” said Couch.
“I look forward to supporting Senator Inouye in his efforts, and I applaud his record of caring for the working families of Maui County,” added Couch.
Political observers noted that the move by Senator Inouye was not completely unexpected. After speaking earlier in the day at a function sponsored by the Democratic Century Club the Senator asked Couch to stay and speak with him and told associates that Don was the best man for the job.
