ABOUT THE GOVERNOR

Josh Green, M.D.

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.

A special mahalo to the Salvation Army for bringing a Magical Maui Christmas to the survivors of the Maui Wildfires. This event is a much-needed chance for some holiday healing to occur and it won’t be the end of the healing either. It’s just the beginning, and we are here to walk alongside you all the way. We are thankful for the many hands who have worked to put together this amazing event to lift the spirits of families who went home with gifts, Christmas trees, and joy generously donated by Walmart, the Salvation Army and the Spirit of Liberty Foundation. ...
