I'm not sure what to make of this given Ing's FEC violations and after the results of this week's primaries. I'm also troubled by what seems to be a the "blame the Democrats" message.

“It’s easy to blame Republicans, to blame Trump for our problems, but we have to look in the mirror,” the House candidate says in the ad, as the camera tilts up to capture a crane building a skyscraper in Honolulu. “Who controls our state? Who’s controlling our party?”

Ing, 29, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America who has represented a part of Maui in the state’s House of Representatives since 2012, is running on a growing list of ambitious priorities gaining traction on the left wing of the party. This includes the abolition of ICE, a job guarantee, tuition-free public college, Medicare for all and a green New Deal.
