Achieving internet for all is a true kākou effort. With support from the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), Hawaiʻi is poised to implement key digital initiatives that will enhance statewide telehealth programs, expand access to devices, and establish a “digital navigator” program to equip community leaders with digital literacy skills and resources.

Strengthening our islands’ internet infrastructure benefits us all — and together, we can ensure every resident thrives in the digital age. To learn more, visit connectkakou.org.

I want to welcome Mayor Kimo Alameda to his new role serving Hawai‘i County. Leadership is grounded in service, and through strong collaboration between our counties and state, we can continue to uplift and strengthen our communities.

It was an honor to meet with visitors from Inha University as we celebrate their 70th Anniversary. This milestone reflects the enduring bond between Korea and Hawaiʻi and the legacy of cultural exchange that began over 121 years ago.

Inha University holds a unique place in our shared history. Established by Korea`s first president, Dr. Syngman Rhee, Inha was founded as a tribute to the Korean immigrants who first arrived in Hawaiʻi in 1903. The university`s name—combining “Incheon” and “Hawaiʻi”—symbolizes the connection between the two regions.

Today, Inha continues to honor that legacy by fostering educational and cultural exchange, strengthening the bridge of friendship that unites Korea and Hawaiʻi. Congratulations to Inha on seven decades of excellence in education and innovation!

Yesterday, we announced that the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands (DHHL) has been awarded a $72 million grant from the Biden-Harris Administration to expand broadband access. This funding, provided through the NTIA’s Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program, will bring high-speed internet, digital education, and community centers to thousands of underserved households.

Since launching #ConnectKakou, I’ve been proud to support efforts like this that connect our communities, create opportunities, and empower residents with essential digital tools. Mahalo to Associate Administrator Doug Kinkoph, the NTIA team, and all our partners for creating a more connected Hawaiʻi.

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.

Whenever I visit Naʻalehu, I’m instantly reminded of its tight-knit community and the incredible ways neighbors show each other aloha.

This year, we opened three new public preschool classrooms at Naʻalehu Elementary. With limited private providers in the area, our public pre-kindergarten program is a lifeline for many ʻohana with young children.

Mahalo nui to Principal Wilma Roddy and all the amazing students, teachers, and staff for the warm welcome!

Spent the morning with over 35,000 runners at the Honolulu Marathon! It was an honor to blow the starting horn and feel the incredible energy of this iconic race.

With participants from every U.S. state and over 10,000 from Japan, the marathon truly celebrates Hawaiʻi’s worldwide friendships. Congratulations to all the participants, and a special shout-out to my staff member Aldric for running the marathon—I even got to wave at him as he crossed the starting line! 👏

A big mahalo to @solomonenos for bringing the community together over the past few months to create a one of a kind piece of Hawaiʻi history. My family had the privilege of leaving our mark on this beautiful mural, which will soon find its place in the State Capitol Pools.

This piece that symbolizes the ocean uniting our islands carries the brushstrokes of our diverse community—from keiki to kupuna. It will forever be a cherished part of the Hawaiʻi State Capitol’s story.
