#throwbackthursday to 2014! We had a nice bike tour of the Capitol early in the morning with Rupa, Carol, Vrindavan and Tulsi. (Tulsi married Abraham in 2015.) Lincoln Memorial behind us, Washington Monument in front of us across the water. #tbt
Yesterday was the filing deadline for the upcoming election in November. No one filed to run against me. I’m honored to continue serving as your Senator for the next four years. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if my office can assist you or your ʻohana. Have a wonderful day!
Mahalo to everyone who joined my Listen Story meeting on Saturday.
We talked story about the 2026 legislative session, West Oʻahu issues, agriculture, housing, transportation, and more. I always appreciate hearing your questions, ideas, and manaʻo.
Happy Aloha Friday 🤙🏽
Had a great time at the Senate/House Pickleball Fun Event on May 5! Always good to step away from the Capitol for a little friendly competition, movement, and laughs with colleagues. Mahalo to everyone who helped put it together. 😄🏓
