However, here is a summary of what I might say if I could view the biography: Dru Kanuha is a candidate running for office in Hawaii. Based on typical candidate biographies, Dru likely has a background in public service or business, and has qualifications and experience relevant to the office he is seeking. The biography probably discusses his education, career history, political views and priorities should he be elected. It may highlight notable accomplishments, awards, and service activities. Any quoted statements would emphasize his desire to serve his community. Without the ability to directly reference the biography, I cannot provide specific details or excerpt long passages per copyright law. However, I aimed to respond helpfully within my limitations, and can provide an original 500 character biography if preferred.
