Another productive week is in the books Check out my #WeekInReview for a snap shot of what my team accomplished for Hawaiʻi!pic.twitter.com/xjYe4PDU3N

To kick-off the start to a very busy legislative week in Washington DC, I joined my staff for a tour of ‘The Apotheosis of Washington’ — the very top of our nation’s Capitol Building. What an incredible viewpic.twitter.com/eDk5E2hpqv

Great news! The @HIDOE808 is set to receive a $96M grant from the DoD to fully replace & expand Mokapu Elementary. I toured the existing school & planned expansion site where I talked with Principal Almanza about the necessity to support a growing student population in the area.pic.twitter.com/hiw208kxrO

I visited the Lāhainā Harbor to inspect the ongoing improvement project to build a new pier, gangway & admin office. Updating Hawaiʻi’s infrastructure is critical to our economy. This is why we passed the $2.8B IIJA, which will lay the groundwork to meet our infrastructure needs.pic.twitter.com/1GsAaj27U8

Kula Hospital offers critical services to Upcountry Maui’s growing population from emergency to long-term care. I joined Administrator Kerry Pitcher and staff for a tour of the facility to learn more about their needs in serving our rural communities.pic.twitter.com/qszLSrUJQL

Mahalo nui loa to all of our Maui veterans! It was great visiting the VFW Post 3850 to talk story with fellow veterans, hear their concerns and explain the services my office can provide them.pic.twitter.com/0qyAgcGDpq

I had a chance to check out Maui Kuʻia Estate Chocolate, Lāhainā’s “farm-to-bar” chocolate makers, which sits on the Kuʻia ahupuaʻa. We discussed their commitment to our local community and their promise to give back 100% net profits to Maui non-profits.pic.twitter.com/0oNsTeOJGf

Last week was a productive one on my congressional site visit to Kauaʻi. For a snapshot of everything that was accomplished, check out our #WeekInReview!pic.twitter.com/IdAgK2akEK

Mahalo Mālama Hulēʻia for sharing the incredible progress you’ve made on the Alakoko fishpond restoration project. Thriving ecosystems and native plants are crucial for the health of our loko iʻa.pic.twitter.com/xnbPXM8uHf

Great to talk story with middle and high school students during the Youth Forum Kauaʻi Planning and Action Alliance. Listening to our impassioned youth and their concerns regarding the economy, health and educational opportunity gives me great optimism for the future of Kauaʻi.pic.twitter.com/ggbXr4L5ic

Mahalo @IslandSchoolHI and Kauaʻi Council Member Luke Evslin for hosting me. It was an honor to speak to the entire Voyager student body about my path as a public servant as well as answer questions about the U.S. Congress and our nation’s capital!pic.twitter.com/FHdEXqYog9

Kicking off my 5-day congressional site visit to the Garden Isle of Kauaʻi with a little help from braddah Iz Looking forward to engaging with communities across the island, and bringing their concerns to the federal level pic.twitter.com/1XDPaN28R3

We continue fighting #ForThePeople of #HI02. Here's a snapshot of my work last week for the district.pic.twitter.com/MA4HWMxaSF

The hard-fought $3.5B investment we delivered through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will fund an infrastructure decade in Hawaiʻi. Projects like the Kīhei Collector Road are long overdue but may receive the funding they deserve.

Inadequate access to menstrual hygiene resources widens the gender gap in education, especially within middle-to-low income communities. Proud to support @RepGraceMeng’s Menstrual Equity for All Act and work with advocates like Nikki-Ann Yee & @MaiMovement to end period poverty!pic.twitter.com/sXoaYtxCQI

We just passed $55B to replenish the Restaurant Revitalization Fund & support other local businesses hit hard by COVID-19. This bill ensures we maintain our momentum to a full recovery & empowers Hawaiʻi as we emerge from this pandemic stronger than ever. https://kahele.house.gov/media/press-releases/kahele-votes-pass-emergency-funding-support-hawaii-restaurants-and-small …pic.twitter.com/chAUXDCETx
