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.

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.
Best wishes as well to Prosecuting Attorney Kelden Waltjen (Hawai'i County Prosecuting Attorney Kelden Waltjen) and the Hawai'i County Council as they begin their terms. I look forward to working alongside all of you to create meaningful change for our island communities.
