Nonpartisan Campaign for Governor of Hawaiʻi

Hawaiian Sovereignty must begin one island at a time.

“The land is the people, and the people are the land. Without one, you cannot have the other.” — A Native Hawaiian speaking to Jack London, 1907

Clyde McClain "Mac" Lewman

Mac Lewman was born and raised in Eugene, Oregon and graduated from the University of Oregon with a Bachelor or Science Degree in Psychology and minors in philosophy and Economics. He first came to Hawaii in 1992 to study Taoism and chi-kung with Dr. Lily Siou, a long time resident with an accupuncture college located in Pucs Alley and at her Taoist Temple in Aina Hina. Mac fell in love with Hawaii at the end of that visit when driving around the island his last day here and seeing school children on a field trip walking in single file behind their teacher with some walking barefoot. He said to himself at the time, I will live here some day and in 2016 after a difficult divorce he sold his flooring business and moved to Manao on Oahu. It was not long afterward he became aware of how unfair the taking of Hawaii by the 13 member, Committee of Safety and the United States navy actually was. He's been fighting for returning all or part of the Islands back to the Hawaiians ever since, not only for their benefit but for the benefit of the United Sates by the United States doing what is right.

No corporate donors. No party machine. Just the people of Hawai'i and the courage to change.

Hawai'i was never legally annexed. The truth of that history demands a sovereign response — not protest, but governance.

For over a century, the people of Hawaiʻi have carried the weight of an illegal overthrow. The 1893 coup that toppled Queen Liliʻuokalani was condemned by President Grover Cleveland himself — yet the United States proceeded with annexation anyway. That wound has never fully healed.

Mac Lewman believes the path to sovereignty begins here, on the islands.

Voices of Hawai'i

The leaders, warriors, and visionaries who shaped these islands remind us that sovereignty is not a new idea.
