Juergen Steinmetz

Aloha,

My name is Juergen Steinmetz. I am 62 years old and lived in Hawaii Kai, Pupukea and now Kakaako since 1988.

I am the publisher eTurboNews, a global travel industry publication with more than 2 million readers. We also publish Hawaii News Online, an independent local newswire. I am the founder of rebuilding.travel, a global initiative about reopening tourism with a high level task force in 116 countries.

As a tourism crisis consultant I am involved in tourism resilience and consulted both the private and public sector.

I continuously worked in the travel and tourism industry since I was a teenager in Germany (1979), beginning as a travel agent.

I am the founder of LGBT Hawaii, a board member of the LGBT Meeting Industry Association, and the LGBT Caucus of the Hawaii Democratic Party.

That being said, I promise to vote for the Hawaii Democratic Party Ballot choice (Joe Biden for President and his V.P. running mate).

President Trump is an embarrassment for our country.

Mahalo
