Check out Part 2 of my interview with Robert Kekaula from KITV where he asks me some of the tough questions: Aloha or Kikkoman? Manapua or pork hash? and the last time I called my friends over for a BBQ at the Governor's historic home 😃

Governor’s statement on search for crew of Army Black Hawk helicopter
Our hearts are heavy as search and rescue crews work at the site of an Army helicopter crash off of Ka‘ena Point. We stand with our U.S. Army ‘ohana during this difficult time. The State of Hawai‘i has offered its support as rescue and recovery efforts continue. Our thoughts are with the families and unit members of the soldiers on board.
Mahalo Robert and KITV for the opportunity to share more about what we're up to in the Governor's Office. Our interview covered everything from education, rail, TMT, sustainability, and more.
I'm proud of the work we're doing and I'm proud to be Governor of the greatest place in the world - a place where we celebrate our differences and share responsibility to take care of our finite natural resources.
