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.

As Governor, I’m proud to stand with Kamehameha Schools and the legacy of Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop. She devoted her personal estate so Native Hawaiian children could thrive, learn and lead — a promise made in 1883 that remains just as vital today.

Pauahi’s Trust is a sacred commitment to our keiki and to the history of this place. Honoring it isn’t just about policy — it’s about keeping our word, protecting a legacy born from generosity and aloha, and safeguarding opportunities for future generations.

It is unprecedented for all living governors across our state’s history to speak with one voice on a single issue — and this should tell us just how important this moment is. I join my fellow governors in urging Hawaiʻi to support Kamehameha Schools and defend the purpose for which this gift was created. ... See MoreSee Less

This morning at Mauliola Keʻehi, I joined our education leaders, cultural practitioners and most importantly, our DOE students for Hoʻākea Honolulu. Being out here underscores why this kind of learning matters so much for Hawaiʻi’s future.

When students are grounded in culture, connected to ʻāina and given real hands-on experiences, something changes. They’re not just learning lessons, they’re building identity, confidence and a sense of responsibility to this place.

This is exactly the kind of education that prepares young people to lead with values, stay rooted in who they are, and still thrive anywhere in the world. I’m proud to support Hoʻākea Honolulu and everyone who is working to make this immersive, culturally grounded learning a core part of how we educate our kids. It strengthens Hawaiʻi today and builds the leaders we’ll rely on tomorrow. ... See MoreSee Less

Today I have the honor of appointing Representative Rachele Lamosao to serve as the next state Senator for District 19. Rachele is deeply rooted in West Oʻahu — she’s served her community with heart, humility and a real understanding of the challenges families face every day.
 
Rachele is deeply rooted in the community she will now represent in the Senate. Her experience in education, community engagement and supporting local families, gives her a grounded perspective on the issues most affecting West Oʻahu. I’m confident she will serve the people of Senate District 19 with integrity, compassion and strength. ... See MoreSee Less
