Governor Josh Green

Governor Josh Green is a proud husband, father, and physician. For the past 20 years, Governor Green cared for Big Island families as a doctor. He served in the State House of Representatives and the State Senate from 2004 to 2018. As chair of the Senate Health and Human Services Committee, he passed “Luke’s Law,” which provides care for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, as well as tobacco and e-cigarette regulations, which increased the legal age for purchasing tobacco and e-cigarettes to 21. Passionate about housing solutions, Governor Green helped create “Kauhale” communities to get unsheltered veterans, kūpuna, and others into safe housing options. These efforts are ongoing and will continue to be one of his top priorities as Governor.  Governor Green expanded the role of Lieutenant Governor by spearheading the largest healthcare response in state history during the COVID pandemic. These critical emergency efforts resulted in Hawaiʻi having the nation’s lowest COVID-19 fatality rate.

We’ve secured tax relief at both the state and federal level to give our residents and businesses more time to recover from the recent storms.

If you were impacted, your federal tax deadline is now July 8, and your state tax deadline is July 20. Federal relief is automatic, but for state relief, you’ll need to submit a request.

We know many families and businesses lost important documents or faced major disruptions — this is about giving people the time they need to get back on their feet.
For more information and to apply for state relief, visit hitax.hawaii.gov.

Let’s take advantage of this time and make sure we’re taking care of what matters most. ... See MoreSee Less

Last week, we celebrated Tourism Day at the State Capitol, recognizing the people and partnerships that keep one of Hawaiʻi’s most vital industries moving forward.

From students and workforce leaders to hotels, airlines and small businesses, this industry is powered by our people. With over 222,000 kamaʻāina jobs rooted in tourism, these are the local families who uplift our communities and drive our economy every single day.

Beyond the workforce, the industry’s impact is felt in every corner of our state. Last year, the tourism industry paid $3.04 billion in state taxes, accounting for 30% of all general fund revenue. These resources are what allow us to care for our communities, funding the essential services that all residents rely on.

We also convened a roundtable with industry and government partners to discuss our path forward — especially in the wake of the recent Kona Low storms. History shows that in times of crisis, our tourism partners are consistently among the first to kōkua. We are committed to building a visitor industry that is resilient, responsible, regenerative and rooted in our values. ... See MoreSee Less

We’re moving into recovery, but I want to be clear, the impacts from this storm are still being felt across our state.

We’re seeing damage ranging from flooding to infrastructure challenges, including rockfalls on the North Shore that forced closures along Kamehameha Highway at Waimea Bay. Crews are actively working to clear debris and stabilize the area so we can safely reopen and protect our communities moving forward.

I’ve been in close coordination with our county, state, and federal partners, and I want to thank our first responders, crews, and community members who are stepping up to help with cleanup and recovery.

If you need support — whether it’s housing assistance or disaster case management — please call 211. For the latest updates and resources, visit ready.hawaii.gov.

We’re not just getting through this — we’re going to recover together. ... See MoreSee Less
