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.

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.

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

Big news for rural Hawaiʻi! We’ve secured $188.9 million to transform healthcare across our neighbor islands and rural Oʻahu — from a statewide digital health network and telehealth hubs in schools, libraries and community spaces, to upgraded EMS, mobile clinics and expanded mental healthcare.

We’re also launching new rural residency and workforce programs, five medical respite centers, and a fund to help local providers adopt innovative, value-based care.

This is year one of a five-year effort to bring high-quality care closer to home — close to $1 billion in total. ... See MoreSee Less
