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. Mahalo, Riley!

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 healthcare.
Proud to support Rep. 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 make a cohesive military.
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 anteroom!
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. Mahalo, Olivia!
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 our Kauaʻi ʻohana!
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 there.
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 our keiki and kūpuna.
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 cuts to SNAP.
Grateful to be back at Castle High with Osa from 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 difference for our students.
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 keep our islands safe.
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!
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 year after year!
"From health care to housing, the food on our tables, and the education and jobs that give our people a chance, I will not waiver in my commitment to justice and opportunity to all."
While we lost the battle on this bill today, I will never stop fighting against the war Republicans have waged on our people and the safety nets and lifelines that help to lift our families up."
“To push this through on the eve of our nation’s birthday isn’t just heartless — it’s anti-American. It’s wrong, and Hawai‘i and our country deserves better."
"It guts the income our farmers and grocers depend on to nourish our communities, all while handing billions in tax breaks to the ultra-wealthy.
These aren’t handouts, they’re lifelines.
And the cruelest part? Our keiki will be stuck paying off the $5 trillion in debt this bill creates."
"This bill would rip lifesaving Medicaid coverage from 17 million Americans, including 150,000 in Hawai‘i, and take food out of the mouths of 42 million people who rely on SNAP to feed their families, including 22,000 right here at home."
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." 🧵
Mahalo @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social for recognizing my amendment on the Floor. We fought to protect Hawaiʻi's farmers, ranchers, & 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 people & land.
