Dear Friend and Neighbor,
It’s an honor to serve as your State Representative for Wailua, Kapa‘a, Kealia, Anahola, Moloa’a, Kīlauea, Princeville, Hanalei and Hā‘ena.
As your State Representative, I’ve prioritized the building of affordable housing, supporting our public education system, diversifying our economy, and caring for our lands and waters. I’m extremely proud that together, we have:
For the past two years, I’ve had the privilege of serving as Majority Leader, with the support of 45 representatives from around the State of Hawai‘i, and am pleased to be serving as Speaker of the House for the 2025 Legislative Session. Although we have worked hard to increase the minimum wage, increase tax credits for child and dependent care, double the GET food tax credit, increase the amount of funding for affordable housing and homelessness programs, increase public school teacher salaries, and increase Pre-K classes, much more work needs to be done. I look forward to hearing your concerns as we begin the upcoming session, and continue to work together and find solutions to vexing problems in District 15, Kaua‘i, and the State of Hawai‘i. Mahalo piha,
