Every day, it gets harder for working families to survive in Hawaiʻi — rising costs on rent, groceries, insurance, and healthcare are squeezing us from every direction. But we can build a sustainable local economy that works for everyone. I support policies that invest in quality public services, rein in corporate abuse, strengthen workers' rights, and create a fairer tax system.
 

As Vice Chair of the Committee on Commerce and Consumer Protection, I fought to ensure that our state laws and regulations prioritize affordability and protect your dignity as a consumer. I also co-chair the Working Families Caucus, which fights for policies that ensure that working families have the resources and opportunities they need to thrive.
