One of the best parts of my commute is passing through Puʻuanahulu, especially when the jacaranda are in bloom. Reminds me of the excitement in my mom’s eyes every time she’d see them on our many road trips growing up. Her sense of wonder continues to inspire me.

One of my favorite moments in my first weeks at Keck had to be the day we welcomed Uncle Cisco back. He retired from the mechanical engineering team in 2006, and came to visit with friends. Was so cool to hear his stories. We still use his contributions to our infrastructure every single day.

E lei nō au i ke aloha.

Mahalo to everyone who made my birthday week AND last week at the Hawaiʻi Tourism Authority special. We’ve done a lot in our time together, and I’m proud of the trajectory toward regenerative tourism that strengthens our Hawaiʻi. On to new frontiers!

Mahalo @tokuda.house.gov for working to protect our forests!
I'm happy to share that the Continued Rapid ‘Ōhi‘a Death Response Act of 2025 has passed the House today.

We cannot afford to stand alone & continue to lose our native forests in Hawai‘i. They protect and sustain our people & provide critical habitat for native species.
