Kaua'i County Mayor Bernard Carvalho Jr. yesterday submitted his nomination papers for re-election.

Carvalho pledged to continue the work he started when he took office on Dec. 1, 2008.

His campaign said some of the major initiatives completed in his two-year term include implementing a one-stop customer service center for residential building permits, establishing Park & Ride sites and expanding bus routes and acquiring 75 acres of land in 'Ele'ele for the county's first "green" affordable housing development.
