The destruction Hurricane Lala left behind on farms across Kaʻū is extensive. From ranch lands to coffee farms, cracks in the earth, flooding, downed trees, broken water lines and damaged roads will take significant resources.

I’m working to urgently bring federal support to help our farmers recover and rebuild. Mahalo to USDA Farm Service Agency State Director Arthur Keyes and team for joining me as we spoke with local ranchers and farmers, surveyed the damage, and talked about what we can do to help.

Aloha and Haitai! With an andagi in hand, my belly was happy and my heart was full celebrating the 44th annual Okinawan Festival and 75 years of the Hawaiʻi United Okinawa Association.

As a proud yonsei of uchinanchu descent, I also had a great time talking story with the young leaders of the Okinawa Youth Academy who were helping out at the festival.

Ippe nifee debiru and Mahalo to the hundreds of volunteers keeping our heritage and the spirit of Chimugukuru alive across Hawaiʻi. ❤️

West Maui knew it could not wait to strengthen its fire and emergency response. The community donated the land. Raised $3 million. Fully funded a new fire station.

Then Trump’s steel tariffs added more than $300,000 to the cost. It’s time for Congress to exercise its constitutional authority over tariffs. We should be making communities safer, not making safety more expensive.

Three years after the fires, Lahaina families are finally coming home. They should be welcomed back, not told they will never have mail delivery at their rebuilt homes. Permanently closing the Downtown Lahaina Post Office without meaningful community input only adds insult to injury.

Our message to USPS is simple: Lahaina has already lost enough. Restore meaningful mail service. Listen to the community. Don’t take another piece of Lahaina away.

Honored to join DHHL’s West Oʻahu Scattered Lots Pilot Project in Waiʻanae and celebrate another step toward getting Native Hawaiian families back on Hawaiian Home Lands.

These homes are about so much more than a roof. They’re about community, culture, and giving generations to come the chance to call Hawaiʻi home.

Lala is gone, but for families across Hawaiʻi Island, the work is just beginning. I saw washed-out roads, damaged homes and schools, and communities still picking up the pieces.

I’m fighting to bring the full weight of the federal government to this recovery so families get the help they need, and Hawaiʻi is stronger before the next storm comes.

I brought leaders from the House Agriculture Committee to Hawaiʻi to hear directly from the people strengthening our agricultural industry.

On Oʻahu, we started at CTAHR’s Magoon Research Station, where we saw firsthand the work being done to develop stronger crops and tackle invasive species like the coconut rhinoceros beetle. We also spent time with Hawaiʻi Farm Bureau members, who shared what recovery looks like for farmers after storms like Lala and the challenges they face along the way.

The next day, we visited the Hawaiʻi Agriculture Research Center in Kunia and sat down with Hawaiʻi Farmers Union leaders to hear about what it takes to farm in Hawaiʻi, from recovering after disasters to finding affordable farmland.

Mahalo to everyone who shared their experiences with my colleagues to give them a firsthand look at Hawaiʻi’s needs and priorities.

Small businesses carry so much of our communities, and Hawaiʻi’s Black entrepreneurs are building, creating, and opening doors for others every day.

It was so good to sit down with the Hawaiʻi Black Chamber of Commerce during Black Business Month for an honest conversation about what it takes to grow a business here. Mahalo for welcoming me and for continuing to support Hawaiʻi’s Black business community.
