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.

Human trafficking thrives in the shadows — so we showed up in the light.

Yesterday morning at the State Capitol, I joined the Department of the Attorney General, law enforcement and community partners to stand up for victims and remind Hawaiʻi that ending human trafficking requires awareness, vigilance and action from all of us. When people know what to look for and speak up, they become part of the safety net that protects our neighbors and our keiki.

If you see something, say something. Let’s keep Hawaiʻi safe.

Anyone who believes they may have information related to human trafficking is urged to contact local law enforcement or the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888 or text “BeFree” to 233733 ... See MoreSee Less

This month, we’re shining a bright, uncomfortable spotlight on human trafficking — because crimes like this survive in silence. I want every person in Hawaiʻi to know the signs and speak up when something isn’t right. If you see or suspect trafficking, call local law enforcement or the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888, or text BeFree to 233733. You can also submit tips at ag.hawaii.gov/sipd/tips. One call can change a life.

That same commitment to protecting people is why I’m proud to appoint Daisy Hartsfield to represent House District 36 in Waipahu and Village Park. Daisy has spent more than two decades standing up for working families, kūpuna and our most vulnerable neighborsm from child welfare and public safety to the courts and community-based justice. ...

Today at the 2026 Hawaiʻi State of Reform Health Policy Conference, I met with the incredible youth peer supporters launching Maui’s new YouthLine — a youth mental health crisis line run by young people who truly understand what their peers are going through.

Their courage, empathy and leadership are exactly what our keiki need right now. Backed by national clinical support through Lines for Life, this program gives young people a safe, real-time place to call, text or chat when they need help. No one in Hawaiʻi should ever face a mental health crisis alone.

Need support? Call YouthLine at 1-877-968-8491 ... See MoreSee Less

I’m proud to appoint Daisy Hartsfield to represent House District 36, serving the Waipahu and Village Park communities she’s called home most of her life.

Daisy brings more than two decades of experience standing up for working families, kūpuna and our most vulnerable neighbors. From child welfare and public safety to the courts and community-based justice, she understands what it takes to protect people, strengthen families and make government work for those who need it most.

I know she’ll be a strong, thoughtful voice for District 36, and I look forward to working with her to lower the cost of living, support our keiki and kūpuna, and build a future where every family in Hawaiʻi can thrive. ... See MoreSee Less
