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.

Jaime and I are honored to be co-chairs of the Light the World Giving Machines again! This year, Hawaiʻi is home to 11 Giving Machines at six locations across three counties — from Ala Moana, Pearlridge and the Polynesian Cultural Center, to Whalers Village, Prince Kūhiō Plaza and Queen’s Marketplace.

These machines give people a direct way to support 16 local nonprofits whose work strengthens families and communities. The machines also feature respected global charities, allowing Hawaiʻi to extend aloha far beyond our shores to people in crisis around the world.

Last year, Hawaiʻi raised nearly $245,000. With the heart of our community and the needs of our families in mind, we’re committed to helping exceed that number this year.

During this season of giving, these machines are a reminder that even small acts of kindness can transform lives. Hawaiʻi shows up for one another — and that’s what makes this program so powerful. It’s an honor to help light the world, together.

Mahalo to everyone who came out to celebrate Kualoa Ranch’s 175th anniversary. For generations, Kualoa has been a place where agriculture, conservation and education come together. Families have built their livelihoods here. Students learn here. Local businesses rely on the work done here. And millions of visitors discover Hawaiʻi through the lens of this ranch’s incredible story.

It was an honor to recognize Kualoa Ranch for 175 years of leadership and community impact. They’ve stayed true to their mission while evolving with the times, and Hawaiʻi is better for it.

This is a milestone worth celebrating and a legacy that will continue to shape our state for generations. Congratulations Kualoa Ranch!
