And to my wonderful husband, Josh, I am so grateful for your love and support in raising our children. They say it takes a village, but sometimes you get lucky with a great partner by your side too. I appreciate you.
Happy Father’s Day to all of our wonderful fathers across Hawaiʻi! Today is your day. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to your families and your loved ones!
Queen Liliʻuokalani led during one of the most challenging chapters in Hawaiʻi’s history. Even in the face of uncertainty, she placed her people's well-being first. Her legacy lives on through the culture, history and identity that continues to define Hawaiʻi today.
The world we envision for our daughters and granddaughters depends on the choices we make today. Mahalo to the women who lead with courage, resilience and unwavering commitment to building a stronger, more equitable Hawaiʻi for all.
and for showing us that generosity is not a soft skill — it is a force multiplier.
Progress is never accidental; it is the result of our collective determination to reject inequity and create a better future for all.
Through her scholarship and cultural leadership, she helped ensure that ʻike and ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi would endure.
Her work continues to shape how Hawaiʻi understands and honors its heritage.

Our sincere thanks to Hawaii @GovJoshGreenMD and @FirstLadyofHI Jaime Kanani Green for their warm aloha welcome. A great opportunity to talk energy and Japan-Hawaii connections at the end of a successful visit to Honolulu. It feels a long way from @expo2025_japan in Osaka, where we last met!
Her legacy is one of resilience, compassion and love for our island home — a legacy that continues to inspire me personally, and one that I am honored to help carry forward in service to our people.
Hauʻoli Lā Hānau e Queen Liliʻuokalani 💜 I reflect today on her gifts as a composer, a leader and a tireless advocate for her people. She devoted her life to protecting Hawaiʻi and uplifting our communities, guiding our islands through times of great challenge.
