On Mother’s Day 2022, we embarked on a journey to make sure the people of Hawaiʻi’s Second Congressional District had a representative that would take care of them like family and give them a voice in Washington DC. I was humbled beyond words to have won the trust and votes of the people to represent our home in Congress and that trust is something I will never take for granted.

I still travel from Hilo to Hanalei to talk story with as many people as possible to hear about your struggles, hopes and dreams – and these are the conversations that continue to shape my thoughts as to how I can best serve you in Congress.

My work and priorities are always centered around our families and keiki, and how I can provide them with access to healthcare, quality education, housing that they can afford, and opportunities to find good-paying jobs so that they can thrive here in Hawaiʻi.
While we may live more than 5,000 miles from our nation’s capital, the decisions made in Washington DC directly impact each and every one of us and you have my commitment to fight for Hawaiʻi’s fair share and to tackle the issues that are burdening our families.

From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for your friendship and your support, and look forward to continuing to work together to build a positive future for Hawaiʻi
