Today is #NationalInternetDay! 🛜

Access to high-quality internet is not a luxury—it’s a necessity for all our residents. So much of our lives depends on it, from work and education to telehealth. To help improve internet access across our state, we’re asking residents to complete a 30-second speed test, allowing us to map connectivity in our communities.

Take the speed test at www.connectkakou.org or the link in my bio.

As we celebrate #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we honor the first people of this ʻāina. Native Hawaiian culture, language, and traditions remain alive and thriving—and it is our collective kuleana, our responsibility, to amplify indigenous and kānaka maoli voices for generations to come. ...

Since my time in the legislature, I have been a strong supporter of @ywcaoahu’s programs that empower and uplift women from all backgrounds.

Yesterday, I had the privilege of joining Charter-Spectrum for the presentation of the Spectrum Employee Community Grant, which will significantly enhance the Ka Hale Ho‘āla Hou No Nā Wāhine re-entry program at YWCA Fernhurst—further helping women reconnect with their families and reintegrate into society successfully.

This kind of community support is essential to building a stronger, more compassionate Hawai‘i.

I`d like to thank the Hawai‘i Children`s Action Network for recognizing me with the inaugural Torch-Bearer Award at their Champions for Children event.

This recognition is truly shared with the incredible partners who have been part of the #ReadyKeiki initiative. From nonprofits, community organizations, businesses, and all levels of government — it’s been a kāko‘o effort to expand access to preschool across our state. This work isn’t just about preparing our keiki for the future; it’s about uplifting our families and building a thriving Hawai‘i for generations to come.

I am honored to be recognized with this award, but even more honored to be able to do this important work. Mahalo nui.

It was an honor to celebrate the life and legacy of Representative Mark Nakashima.

Mark’s commitment to his community was unmatched; he always put others first and stayed true to his values. He lived by the phrase Okage Sama De, meaning “thanks to you”—a reflection of his humility and deep dedication to service.

His ʻohana is a testament to his values, and I cannot thank them enough for sharing him with the community and our state through his many years in the legislature.

We will miss his kind spirit, his quiet strength, and his gentle humor. Rest in aloha, Mark.
