Hawaii gubernatorial candidate Jeff Davis wants Gov. Neil Abercrombie and Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell to issue an emergency proclamation to help homeless people.

According to Davis, both the governor and mayor should declare a state of emergency and use executive privilege to allow for water and sanitation services to serve the homeless encampments “where children are abundant.”

In a press release, Davis claims that if his request were carried out, “the Executive Order would act as a temporary waiver from specific health and building codes so that state and or county-owned land can be used as sanitation centers for the homeless.”

Davis is running as a Libertarian against Democrat David Ige, Republican Duke Aiona and independent Mufi Hammenann.

Davis, who works in the solar business, plays guitar and has a radio show on KGU, has been spending time with homeless people in Kakaako.

To that end, he has released this music video:
