Her legacy lives on in the leaders she mentored, the people she believed in, and the confidence she gave so many of us before we saw it in ourselves.
They broke the mold when they made her. Mahalo, Colleen.

Colleen made history as the first AANHPI woman in the nation to lead a legislative body, but she knew being “the first” meant holding the door open so you are not the last.
I led the House in a moment of silence honoring the life and service of Colleen Hanabusa, a proud daughter of Waiʻanae, a tita at heart, and a former member of this House.
Our farmers and ranchers are essential to our food security and future. I'll keep fighting to make sure federal disaster assistance and cleanup efforts move quickly and actually reach the people doing the hard work of restoring the land, feeding our communities, and carrying this recovery forward.
Mahalo to Joey Cadiz from Laulau Solutions and to our farmers in Kahuku and Lāʻie for walking us through the devastation left by the Kona Low storms, from lost crops and equipment to fields still flooded & loʻi needing restoration.
I’ll keep doing what I can to support the workers and families whose livelihoods are tied to Kauaʻi Coffee and the future of Hawaiʻi agriculture.
Kauaʻi Coffee is the largest coffee producer in the United States, but its strength has always come from the workers, many of whom return year after year and have deep ties to coffee farming, this company, and this community.
Mahalo to the hardworking team at Kauaʻi Coffee for having me back as they continue navigating uncertainty around lease negotiations, tariffs, and the future of Hawaiʻi-grown coffee.
I’m continuing to push to protect Native Hawaiian education funding and to make sure the dollars Congress appropriates are actually delivered, so Partners in Development Foundation programs have the stability and support they need to keep their doors open and continue serving our communities.
Mahalo to folks at Ka Paʻalana Māʻili and Tūtū and Me Hānapepe for welcoming me. It was truly meaningful to spend time with the parents, caregivers, educators, staff, and keiki who make these early learning sites so special. Every dollar invested in our keiki is an investment in our future.
We’ve been talking with the Navy, Army Corp of Engineers and State DOT about what we need to do quickly to mitigate and prevent future flooding. Mahalo to so many in the community that always step up to take care of neighbors — now we have to do the same.
Grateful to community leaders like Uncle Chevy for taking me around Pa’akea Road so we could see first hand where the hardest hit areas were and the debris and flooding that remain months after the Kona lows.
Thank you to the teachers, staff, partners and funders giving our students hands-on experience and helping prepare the next generation of healthcare workers Hawaiʻi needs.
Mahalo to the students of Waiʻanae High School for taking me through their new health learning lab, the first of its kind in a Hawaiʻi public school. Inspiring to see them demonstrate their skills and talk about their plans to pursue careers in the ER, pediatrics, radiology, pharmacy and more!
Mahalo to everyone who worked hard to showcase the traditions, food, and history keep our island culture alive and strong.
The Filipino Fiesta in Waipahu was a powerful reminder of the strength and pride within our community. Seeing so many people come together to celebrate and share Filipino culture with the rest of Hawai’i is truly inspiring.
Instead, he deflected with a false claim that President Biden sent troops to polling locations in 15 states. When the question is whether to follow an illegal order or the Constitution, there is only one acceptable answer. Secretary Hegseth refused to give it.
I asked Secretary Hegseth a simple question: if President Trump ordered him to send troops to polling places in violation of federal law, would he follow the President or the Constitution? He didn’t answer.

BREAKING: Pete Hegseth is testifying before the House Armed Services Committee today where he’ll have to defend his conduct and his $1.5 trillion budget request. I asked @tokuda.house.gov what she expects from the hearing: #congress #news #politics #hegseth #trump
Our people never counted on losing their homes, businesses, livelihoods, history, and loved ones. But they should be able to count on this: every dollar meant to help them rebuild, recover, and return home should stay with them, not in government coffers.
