Maui is rebuilding — and Mayor Richard Bissen is making sure that recovery leads to a stronger, more resilient future for local families.

It was great to be on Maui last night for his State of the County Address, where he laid out real progress and a clear path forward for housing and wildfire recovery.

Under Mayor Bissen’s leadership, Maui County has accelerated housing production dramatically — increasing affordable and workforce housing delivery by 190%, with nearly 3,000 homes projected by 2030.

That kind of momentum matters as Maui continues the long road of recovery after the Maui wildfires. The county is pairing housing construction with major investments in infrastructure — water systems, wastewater, roads and utilities — so communities can rebuild in a way that is safer, more resilient and built to last.

I’m grateful for Mayor Bissen’s partnership and leadership during one of the most challenging chapters in Maui’s history. The state will continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with the county as we rebuild, expand housing and ensure Maui families have the opportunity to stay, work and thrive in the place they call home. ...

Lights, cameras and plenty of action across Hawaiʻi right now!

It was great catching up with Jason Momoa yesterday on the Oʻahu set of Protecting Jared. Right now, our state is hosting three major productions — Protecting Jared, Netflix’s Untamed, and Jumanji 3 — bringing global attention and real economic opportunity to our islands.

These productions create hundreds of jobs for local crew, actors and vendors, while supporting small businesses across our communities — from catering and transportation to equipment, hotels and construction. The film industry is a key part of Hawaiʻi’s creative economy, allowing talented local storytellers and technicians to build careers here at home while sharing the beauty and stories of Hawaiʻi with audiences around the world.

I’m proud to support an industry that keeps our creatives working and continues to showcase Hawaiʻi on screens across the globe. ... See MoreSee Less
