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.

Last week, I spent meaningful time at the Bush Institute with President Bush, working to expand early literacy and reading initiatives for keiki across Hawaiʻi — because learning to read well changes everything. As we do this work, our flags remain at half-staff to honor lives lost in tragedies around the world. We carry that weight with us as we move forward.

We’re also ramping up for the legislative session ahead, focused and ready. We‘re going to protect what’s most important like food services, healthcare and housing. ... See MoreSee Less

We just wrapped up an impactful week at the CSG National Conference in Chicago, where I had the privilege of serving as president, and was honored to be elected to continue in that role next year. These gatherings remind us that civility, collaboration and genuine bipartisanship aren’t relics; they’re how we get things done for the people we serve.

A special mahalo to Sen. Elgie Sims of Chicago, our 2025 National Chair, whose leadership and hometown hospitality set the tone for a productive conference. My thanks as well to David Adkins, CSG’s executive director, whose steady guidance and deep institutional knowledge keep this organization moving forward, and to Chair-Elect Assemblymember Mike Gipson, whose commitment to partnership and progress strengthens the entire CSG family.

I’m proud to represent Hawaiʻi and grateful for the chance to continue this work alongside leaders who prove that when we listen, collaborate and stay focused on solutions, states — and their people — win. ... See MoreSee Less

Today, we learned of the passing of Hawaiʻi County Fire Chief and State Fire Council Chair Kazuo Todd. Jaime and I send our heartfelt aloha to the Todd ʻohana. Chief Kazuo Todd was passionate about keeping people safe and his leadership was an example for those in the fire service in Hawaiʻi County and across the state. While we mourn his sudden loss, each of us can be proud of and grateful for the legacy of dedication and service he exemplified. ... See MoreSee Less
