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.

As we gather to celebrate Thanksgiving, it's important to acknowledge the spirit of giving that has been a cornerstone of our community for many years. This year holds special significance as we commemorate the 51st anniversary of The Salvation Army's dedicated efforts in providing Thanksgiving meals for O'ahu individuals, families, and kūpuna. As a state deeply rooted in our culture and our community, today isn’t just another holiday, it is a day for us to connect with one another and get to know our neighbors. I would also like to recognize the dedicated volunteers and organizers who have worked tirelessly to ensure that all of us can enjoy a warm meal today. May your selfless contributions remind us that one of the greatest joys in life comes from giving back to our community. ... See MoreSee Less
