Candidate Fern Rosenstiel introduces platform, cites work on Kauai pesticide disclosure bill

Fern A’nuenue Rosenstiel introduced herself to the Kilauea community at the June 8 meeting and said she is running for state representative for District 14. She described her local upbringing, her background in environmental policy and fielded questions from attendees about local issues.

Rosenstiel said she "worked hard on bill 2491," legislation she described as requiring companies on Kauai to more thoroughly declare specific herbicide and pesticide use and control measures. She answered audience policy-position questions and provided a campaign information package and website listed in the meeting packet (fernrosenstiel.com).

Her introduction was informational; the meeting did not include a candidate forum vote or endorsement. Board leadership signaled interest in hosting or facilitating additional candidate presentations in advance of the 2016 elections.
