The Hawaii Republican Party

On June 6, 1944, thousands of brave Americans and Allied forces stepped into history on the beaches of Normandy.

Many never made it home.

Their courage changed the course of the world and reminded future generations what sacrifice looks like.

Today we remember those who fought for freedom and the legacy they left behind.

The Hawaiʻi Republican Party wants to be unequivocally clear; Eric Ryan, the plaintiff in a recent lawsuit filed against the Department of Hawaiian Homelands, is NOT a member of the Hawai’i Republican Party, and efforts to portray this lawsuit as a Republican Party initiative are simply false.

“The HRP is steadfast in its support of the vision of Prince Kūhiō, a Republican and the fulfillment of his legacy to preserve the heritage of Native Hawaiians through the Department of Hawaiian Homelands,” says HRP State Chair Shirlene Ostrov.

“It is disappointing to see elected officials and members of the media attempt to use this legal challenge as a political weapon rather than accurately report the facts,” Ostrov adds. “The people of Hawai’i deserve honest public discussion, not efforts to attach unrelated individuals or organizations to political opponents for campaign purposes.”

The Hawaiʻi Republican Party remains focused on the issues that matter to local families, and among those priorities is ensuring beneficiaries receive the opportunities and resources they were promised, reducing waiting lists, and strengthening accountability

Prepared communities recover faster.

Whether it is emergencies, economic hardship, or difficult seasons, strong communities are built before challenges arrive.

Preparedness is not fear.
It is responsibility.
It is caring enough to be ready for the people around you.

Leadership is not always loud.

Sometimes it looks like neighbors helping neighbors.
Parents raising strong families.
Volunteers stepping up quietly.
People preparing before problems become crises.

Strong communities are built by people willing to stay involved.

That spirit still matters in Hawaiʻi.

Find one way this month to help strengthen the place you call home.

The County of Hawaiʻi will host an informational community meeting following last week’s Kona earthquake from 6-7:30 p.m. Thursday, May 28 at Sgt. Rodney J.T. Yano Memorial Hall, 82-6156 Mamalahoa Highway, in Captain Cook.

The meeting is an opportunity for residents to hear updates from County officials as well as connect with nonprofit organizations that are responding to community needs following the 6.0-magnitude earthquake that occurred Friday evening near Hōnaunau-Nāpōʻopoʻo.

“Following last week’s earthquake, our priority remains supporting our community and making sure residents can get back on their feet,” said Mayor Kimo Alameda. “We encourage residents to join our team to share their needs and get connected to our nonprofit partners.”

The County will be represented by Civil Defense, South Kona CERT Team, Department of Public Works, Department of Water Supply, and Department of Parks and Recreation. Nonprofit partners will be represented by Vibrant Hawaiʻi and the American Red Cross.

Mayor Alameda signed an emergency proclamation on Wednesday covering the districts of North Kona, South Kona and Kaʻū. The proclamation allows the County to streamline its response and coordinate resources following the damaging temblor.

Civil Defense continues to urge residents and businesses to report damage to their properties from the earthquake by visiting bit.ly/CDDisasterRecovery or by calling Civil Defense at (808) 935-0031.

Damage reports will assist the County with seeking state or federal disaster assistance as well as identify priorities and focus resources if assistance becomes available.

As of Wednesday, Civil Defense had received more than 200 damage reports. Of those, eight homes are considered destroyed and another 85 properties are listed as sustaining major damage.

Residents in need immediate assistance – such as food, clothing, debris removal, or shelter – are asked to complete a Request for Assistance through Vibrant Hawaiʻi at bit.ly/vh-rfa or by calling Civil Defense at (808) 935-0031.

Stay Informed. Residents can receive emergency notifications by signing up for Civil Defense alerts at their website at bit.ly/HCCDAlerts

Behind every fallen service member is a family that continues carrying the weight of sacrifice.

This week we honor the Gold Star families across Hawaiʻi and throughout the country whose strength and resilience remind us that service impacts generations.

Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Some freedoms were paid for by people who never made it home.

This Memorial Day, we remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to the country and the families who carried that sacrifice long after the battle ended.

Across Hawaiʻi, many know that sacrifice personally.

Today is not about politics.
It is about gratitude.
It is about remembrance.
It is about honoring those who gave everything for others.

We remember them.
We honor them.
We will not forget.

We are monitoring reports tonight of gunshots near the White House and the resulting lockdown procedures currently being reported in Washington, D.C.

At this time, facts are still developing. We encourage everyone to avoid speculation and allow law enforcement and security personnel the space to assess and respond appropriately.

We are grateful for the men and women in law enforcement, Secret Service, and emergency response teams who move toward danger to protect others in moments like these.

Praying for the safety of all involved and for a peaceful resolution as more information becomes available.
