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.

Bill-signing season has come to a close, and I’m proud of the progress we made for Hawaiʻi’s people. New laws will strengthen our local film industry and create jobs, expand support for people living with Alzheimer’s and dementia, and erase $91 million in medical debt for Hawaiʻi families.

Through it all, we have protected the state’s Rainy Day Fund so Hawaiʻi is prepared when disaster strikes. As we approach three years since the Maui wildfires and continue recovering from recent floods, we remain committed to standing together, caring for one another and moving Hawaiʻi forward.

I also enjoyed spending time at the Native Hawaiian Convention, where we had important conversations about expanding opportunity, advancing Native Hawaiian priorities and building a stronger future together. ... See MoreSee Less

This past Saturday, I’m proud to say we awarded another 815 Hawaiian Home Lands project leases — 400 in Waimānalo, 400 in ʻEwa and 15 in Nānākuli. It’s another major step forward as we work to fulfill the promise of Hawaiian Home Lands and get beneficiaries home as quickly as possible.

The progress has been remarkable. In 2015, just 15 leases were awarded statewide. Last year, we awarded more than 2,500, and this year we’re on track to award more than 3,000 leases — the most in the history of the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands.

None of this would be possible without the incredible team at the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, Director Kali Watson, our Hawaiian Homes Commission, and the Native Hawaiian community, whose patience, perseverance and commitment continue to inspire this work. We’re not slowing down. ... See MoreSee Less

Governor Josh Green has ordered the United States flag and the Hawaiʻi state flag to be flown at half-staff at all state offices and agencies, as well as the Hawaiʻi National Guard, effective immediately through sunset on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, in honor of U.S. Army 1st Lt. Tyler James Feehan of ʻEwa Beach.

Feehan, 25, was identified by the Pentagon as one of two U.S. service members killed in Jordan during an Iranian missile attack on a military base. He was supporting Operation Inherent Resolve.

“First Lieutenant Feehan served our nation with courage and made the ultimate sacrifice,” said Governor Green. “Jaime and I extend our deepest condolences to his ʻohana, friends and fellow service members. His death is a painful reminder of the human cost of war. Hawaiʻi mourns alongside them and will always remember his bravery and selfless service.”
