Not a member of a political party, Peter has been a City and County employee for 25 years including being elected Prosecuting Attorney for an unprecedented four terms. During Carlisle’s administration, Honolulu experienced historically low crime rates which he credits to inter-agency cooperation and collaboration efforts.
