We need FOUR Republicans to put their constituents over billionaires.

Mahalo Hakeem Jeffries for recognizing my amendment on the House floor. We fought to protect Hawaiʻi's farmers, ranchers, and producers by making sure nothing in this bill harms them without USDA review. Republicans may have dismissed it, but we’ll continue standing up for our

House Republicans just passed their One Big Ugly Bill that rewards billionaires while throwing 17 million Americans off their health insurance. People will get sicker. Hospitals will close. Children and seniors will go hungry. We will hold Republicans accountable for this

My statement on the passage of the Big Ugly Bill: "It's been sickening to see Republicans fast track a bill that's not just bad policy, it's reckless and selfish, and it's a betrayal to our people. This bill would rip lifesaving Medicaid coverage from 17 million Americans,

How far would I go to fight the Big Ugly Bill? Giving you a behind-the-scenes look of what it took to get back to D.C. to fight the GOP's efforts to pass this tax scam. Although we may have lost the battle, we will win the war—and continue fighting to protect our people &

Had a great time at the 2025 Lāna‘i Pineapple Festival this weekend 🍍 The festival brought together guests from multiple islands & it was great connecting with folks that invest so much into our communities. Shoutout to our Lāna‘i Community Association ʻohana for organizing this

Introducing Questions for Your Congresswoman, a series where I will take time to answer questions from our students across Hawaiʻi who are curious about my positions and the everyday work that we do in Congress. They do have some great questions!

Visited NOAA's Pacific Tsunami Warning Center & the National Weather Service who warn us about tsunamis, hurricanes & extreme weather. Hurricane season has started & as we continue to see more extreme weather, we need staff & continued weather and climate funding, not less, to

Grateful to be back at Castle High with Osa, President of HSTA, reflecting on how our schools & educators provided us important life opportunities. As we face deep cuts to public education, we must keep fighting to ensure schools have the resources they need to keep making a

The BIG, UGLY BILL House Republicans pushed slashed food aid for hungry keiki and hard-working educators just to pay for billionaire tax breaks. Sitting here in Castle's cafeteria, all I can think is that today’s kids and teachers deserve better. We won’t stand for it. No more

Proud to stand with advocates, parents, and community leaders from HCIR, Hawaiʻi Foodbank, HCAN, & Hawaiʻi Appleseed to speak out against the devastating cuts in this BIG, UGLY BILL. Our people deserve better than a law that threatens food money, health care, and the future of

Visited the Federal Detention Center in Honolulu to see firsthand the conditions of the facility and check in with the team and staff that work there. If ICE is going to detain people here, we need to prioritize the safety, security & humane treatment of everyone being held

Busy weekend in Kauaʻi attending the Back to School Bash at the Kukui Grove Center, speaking at the Kauai Farm Bureau Annual Meeting, stopping at the Kauai Farmer's Market, & joining AARP to discuss Social Security on its 90th Anniversary. It’s always a privilege to connect with

On today's Questions for Your Congresswoman, Olivia asks me about the two biggest barriers facing our keiki: Hawai'i's high cost of living & high cost of education. We should be driving down costs of living and education, not starting trade wars & attacking public school funding.

Felt like Lafufu (who exudes lethality and readiness), was the best choice to join me today in the House Armed Services Committee for the NDAA Markup. Ready to fight for our service members and military families across the country, while also spreading a little aloha in the

"... To damn our cadets to not having the ability to sit together at common tables--not feed off a DOD trough--and tell them they cannot lean on each other to find a way forward to continue to serve our country in this way. Well, that's a damn shame. And that's why I strongly

Proud to support Rep. Gil Cisneros' amendment to protect cultural student clubs at military academies. Clubs like the Asian-Pacific Forum are not divisive indoctrination or ideology—they're a way for cadets wearing the same uniform to connect with each other. That's what helps

CAPAC leadership slams Trump administration for reducing access to multilingual services:

I was honored to be recognized with APIAHF's Policymaker Award. While Republicans chose to slash critical healthcare services, we as working Asian-American, Native Hawaiian, & Pacific Islanders will continue to fight & not rest until our communities have access to quality

On today's Questions for your Congresswoman, Riley raised two concerns that I worry about, especially as a mother: school safety and climate change. In Congress, I am fighting every day to make sure our schools are safe from guns and our keiki can inherit the āina we grew up in.
