Joined my CPC colleagues to sound the alarm: Trump’s targeting of people based on how they look or where they come from and his assault on legal pathways to citizenship must stop. Eighty years after Japanese Americans were imprisoned, we are breaking our promise to do better. Enough is enough.

Honored to sit with these aspiring nursing students from Chaminade as they explore rural health & how to address health disparities & mental health access in homeless communities in Waiʻanae & throughout our state. Mahalo for the heart and compassion you bring to our future health care workforce!

Met with local domestic violence advocates, Army Criminal Investigators & the Army Family Advocacy Program at Schofield to discuss how we can support survivors & strengthen safety for our military families. Grateful for their partnership & the chance to connect with our junior enlisted soldiers.

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃 Honored to join The Salvation Army as they celebrate 130 years of service & selflessness on Maui. Their commitment to helping through natural disasters and moments of hardship is true aloha in action!

Grateful for our faith community, which continues to stand on the front lines for those who are scared, in need, or seeking a safe place to get help. I’m looking forward to future conversations on how we can work together to best serve and support our friends and neighbors.

Met with Mayor Alameda after the Coconut Island Bridge collapse to check in and discuss a path forward to restore the damage. Our priority is making sure repairs are safe, sturdy & done right, and we will continue exploring federal resources to support the County's work to rebuild.

On the House floor, I rose to honor the life and service of Maui County Councilmember Tasha Kama, a fierce advocate, a warm presence and a pillar of aloha. Hawaiʻi needs more Tashas. Sending love to the Kama ʻohana. May her courage, compassion, and legacy continue to guide us. Rest in aloha.

Justice was denied for decades — tonight’s vote to release the Epstein files is years overdue. Pedophiles don’t get protection.
This is a win for the brave survivors who endured unimaginable horror. Now President Trump must sign the bill immediately and release ALL the files.

Honored to speak at the Preschool Development Grant Birth-to-Five Symposium. These grants help expand access to preschool, support early educators & give every child a strong foundation. While this admin cuts early childhood funding, I will keep fighting to protect this vital resource for our keiki.

Enjoyed stopping by the Holualoa Coffee and Art Stroll to celebrate Kona’s coffee and creative community. Wonderful to see local farmers and artists sharing their work, connecting with neighbors, and keeping our traditions alive. Mahalo to everyone who made it happen!

Over 600 Native Hawaiian beneficiaries were offered 1,100 future homestead lots on Maui. This is what hope looks like. After generations on the waitlist, this is the fulfillment of Prince Kūhiō’s vision, the promise of a home & a future for our children in Hawaiʻi. Congrats!

SNAP serves children, elderly people, people with disabilities, veterans and working families. When Republicans talk about "cutting benefits," they need to say who they're choosing to go hungry.

Mahalo to WCC, Hawaiʻi Foodbank & everyone working incredibly hard to support our communities during this difficult time—from volunteers distributing food, to our federal workers working without pay. We need to reopen government, pay our people, and do right by the workers who keep us going.

Met with Attorney General Anne Lopez to stand up for Hawaiʻi’s most vulnerable & protect SNAP, since the President refuses do his job of ensuring keiki & kūpuna have their basic needs met. Everyone deserves the ability to put food on the table without fear or worry.

Two federal judges have ruled what we knew all along — the administration can and MUST release the $6 billion SNAP contingency funds so families can put food on the table. Proud Hawaiʻi stood up as a plaintiff state to say: do what’s right, follow the law, don’t hold hungry people hostage.

Had a great time at UH West O‘ahu’s REAL TALK — talking story with students about how we can all help shape Hawai‘i’s future. Mahalo for creating space for open, honest conversations about the value of every vote & our democracy. Always inspired by Hawai‘i’s next generation of leaders.

Honored to speak at the Hawai‘i Farmers Union United 15th Annual Convention in Kona & hear from our farmers how the GOP tariffs, federal employee layoffs, and cuts to SNAP are hurting them. We must protect Hawai‘i agriculture from these harmful actions & keep our local producers growing strong. 🌱

Grateful to join the blessing of the new Early Head Start Līhuʻe Center on Kaua'i & celebrate the many keiki who will grow and learn here. Instead of cutting Head Start through Project 2025, we need to triple down & fight for early education so every child has a strong start & a chance to succeed.

Visited AlohaCare for a tour & roundtable discussion on how Medicaid cuts will hurt our most vulnerable, from keiki to kūpuna, across Hawai’i. My Democratic colleagues & I remain fiercely committed to protecting and expanding life-saving healthcare access for our communities across the country.

Glad to visit Kapiolani Medical Center to mahalo our healthcare workers who provide lifesaving care.
Healthcare is our red line. Democrats are fighting to reopen government AND protect that crucial healthcare access that we rely on across the country & in Hawaiʻi.
