Breaking barriers on and off the field. 🏈⚖️💙
Today, we celebrate the first new high school girls' sport in over 20 years—flag football! These young athletes are proving that when given the chance, they rise, lead, and inspire.
Just like them, three newly appointed women judges are making history in our courts, ensuring justice and fairness for all. Their leadership reflects the same strength, resilience, and determination we see in these athletes.
And as we mark Sexual Assault Awareness Month, we reaffirm our commitment to creating a safer, more just Hawai‘i for everyone.

Today at the 68th Hawaiʻi State Science & Engineering Fair, I am reminded of the limitless potential of our keiki. The curiosity, innovation, and determination on display here are a testament to what happens when we nurture young minds and empower them to explore, question, and create.
Science and technology are the keys to solving many of the challenges we face in Hawaiʻi and beyond—whether it’s advancing sustainability, improving healthcare, or shaping the future of technology. The students here today are not just competing in a fair; they are pioneering solutions that will define the future of our islands and our world.
To the students—your hard work, perseverance, and passion inspire us all. To the educators, mentors, and families who support them—mahalo for investing in our future. And to the organizers of this incredible event—thank you for fostering the next generation of scientists, engineers and innovators.
As Governor, I remain committed to strengthening STEM education and ensuring that every young mind in Hawaiʻi has the opportunity to thrive. Congratulations to all the participants—your journey is just beginning, and I can’t wait to see where it takes you!

Nothing brings people together like a good bowl of chili! I had a blast serving up my homemade chili today at our fundraiser for the 26th Annual State Employees’ Hawai‘i Foodbank Drive. Thanks to your generosity, we raised enough to provide over 7,000 meals for local families in need.
A special mahalo to Lieutenant Governor Sylvia Luke, who is leading the state’s food drive and working hard to fight food insecurity across Hawai‘i. Huge thanks as well to Hawai‘i Food Alliance and Kupu for allowing us to use their certified facilities to cook the chili—your support made this event possible!
Let’s keep the momentum going! Anyone can support the Hawaiʻi Foodbank by donating online—state employees, your contributions will count toward your department’s total!
🔗 Donate here: hawaiifoodbank.org/state/
🥫 Food donations can also be dropped off in person at the Lt. Governor’s office at the State Capitol (415 S. Beretania St., Fifth Floor).
Together, we can make a difference!

As a doctor and Governor, I know public health isn’t a place to cut corners. The proposed HHS workforce reductions will leave millions of Americans vulnerable, from infectious disease outbreaks to life-saving research setbacks. I’ve spoken with Governors on both sides of the aisle—we all rely on federal support for critical health programs. Hawai‘i remains committed to protecting our people, and I’ll continue fighting for the resources we need to keep our communities safe. We need leadership that values science, not slogans.
