this comment is confusing.  what do you mean?  there is no minimum age requirement to run for City Prosecutor, and the guy, Yaqoob having been practicing for 8 years continuously, definitely way more than meets the minimum requirement to run.

we elect young people, with no experience besides internships and clerkships and nothing at all more, all the time in Hawaii.  

It looks to me like Yaqoob actually has more of a record than any of these people did when we FIRST elected them (Kaniela Ing, Linda Ichiyama, Beth Fukumoto, Aaron Johanssen, Chris Lee, Stanley Chang (when he first ran for City Counsel).  

Every newcomer is inherently asking for us to take a chance on them.  And we have many, many times.  We did for Kaniela Ing, Beth Fukumoto, Aaron Johanssen (democrat now or still republican? i forget) Stanley Chang, and many others.   

Also, not being "up to speed" is not the same as being "incapable" of doing the job.

Vote for Yaqoob!  Better than another 4 years of Kaneshiro.
