Families across Hawaiʻi are being priced out of the islands while billionaires and out of state corporations profit from our land and labor. Della knows what it’s like to balance a family budget while costs keep going up.  She’ll expand the Child Tax Credit, fight for paid family leave, and strengthen Social Security so working parents and seniors can make ends meet, and ensure federal resources reach local businesses—not mainland corporations.

Health care is too expensive and too hard to access. Della is the only candidate in this race who supports Medicare for All. She’ll fight to expand access to affordable coverage, bring down prescription costs, and reverse Trump’s cuts to Medicaid. 

As a legislator, Della helped strengthen mental-health services and protect reproductive health care. In Congress, she’ll defend those gains and make sure every person—no matter their income or ZIP code—can get the care they need without worrying about the bill.

The fight to defend reproductive rights is personal for Della—as a mother of daughters, she refuses to stand by while politicians strip away women’s freedom to make their own decisions. When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Della led efforts in Hawaiʻi to safeguard access to reproductive health care. 

Now, Trump and Republicans are pushing national abortion bans that would override Hawaiʻi’s protections. Della will fight to codify Roe into federal law, expand access to family-planning services and contraception, and protect doctors and patients from criminalization.

Della will stop Trump’s assault on our democracy and push for reforms to ensure Washington works for working people, not special interests. She is the only candidate in the race that refuses to accept corporate PAC money. Her only loyalty is to the people of Hawaiʻi.

Della helped restart the Good Government Caucus to restore public trust after corruption scandals in the State legislature. She’ll bring that same commitment to Washington—pushing to ban corporate PAC money, stop members of Congress from trading stocks, and enact stronger transparency laws. She’ll fight for automatic and same-day voter registration, just like she has done in Hawaiʻi.

Donald Trump’s chaos is costing us. His tariffs, tax breaks for the rich, attacks on science, and cuts to health care have made life harder for Hawaiʻi families while enriching corporations. Della Au Belatti will stand up to Trump and anyone who enables him—Democrat or Republican.

She’s unafraid to speak truth to power, defend our freedoms, and hold Washington accountable. Della believes Hawaiʻi needs leaders who fight for working families, not for billionaires and special interests.

Della will always put Hawaiʻi’s people and environment first. Climate change threatens everything that makes Hawaiʻi special—from our reefs and coastlines to our farms and communities. The Maui wildfires showed what happens when neglect and underinvestment collide. Della will make the federal government a partner—not a barrier—in local climate solutions. 

She’ll fight to expand renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and coastal-protection programs that create good-paying union jobs while protecting our Native ecosystems. That means investing in Native Hawaiian  stewardship practices, restoring watershed protections, and treating land and water as public priorities—not private commodities.
