Aloha, Friends and Neighbors
Welcome.
It’s an honor and a pleasure to serve you as a member of the Hawaii Legislature.
A well-informed electorate is a pillar of our democracy. And one of the major responsibilities of an elected representative is to inform the public of the issues that affect us all, stimulate discussion and debate, and then take courses of action that are for the greater good of all. This is a responsibility I embrace and cherish, and which guides my service.
I was very humbled to be elected by my colleagues as the President of the Senate for the 27th Legislature, while my reelection in November was a testament to the community’s vote of confidence in my ability to represent you. My presidency will give me a platform to continue my call for greater accountability, openness, and effectiveness in government, a cause I have advocated throughout my service on your behalf.
I invite and encourage you to follow our progress on issues before the Legislature, and to offer your thoughts on proposals under consideration.
Please return often to apprise yourself of news from the State Capitol and in our community.
Mahalo,
Donna
