Aloha, Friend!

I am deeply honored and privileged to represent Hawaii’s great First Congressional District (Honolulu from Makapu’u to Mililani and Kapolei) in our U.S. House of Representatives.

My mission is to (1) provide strong effective national leadership on the critical issues of our times, (2) assure that Hawaii’s voice is heard and needs are addressed in Washington, D.C., and (3) stay in close touch with my constituents and assist with their individual concerns.

I devote the sum total of my lifetime in Hawai’i, my decades in the public and private sectors, and my current office including membership on the House Appropriations and Natural Resources Committees to fulfilling these obligations.

But I also bring a conviction that we must find a better way forward for our country. One that meets rather than creates or worsens our challenges. That celebrates our progress while acknowledging the road still ahead to truly fulfill our promise. That looks to our core values to ground us in the belief that we can and will do this together.

Our current (2023-2025) and next (2025-2027) Congresses are among the most critical in our history. We must address key challenges for Hawai’i, worsening political division and critical issues nationally, and a very uncertain world.

I seek to continue my mission through our next Congress and so am a candidate for re-election to the U. S. House. I need and ask for your support, whether your contributions or joining our campaign team or wherever and however else you can kokua (help). I especially ask for your vote.

You will find here more about me and my background, experience, beliefs and agenda and well as how to help. I truly welcome your questions, comments and participation.

I am deeply grateful for the ability to serve you and our Hawai’i and country in the U.S. Congress, and express my sincere appreciation for your consideration and support.
