  • Patricia Saiki Oral History Interview Final Edited Transcript
    Patricia Saiki U.S. Representative of Hawaii (1987–1991) Oral History Interview Final Edited Transcript September 20, 2018 Office of the Historian U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. “But when you present instances or examples where they are personally involved one way or another then the whole attitude changes. And so in politics, that’s what it is, isn’t it? It’s personal. You know, you can take any issue, but it doesn’t matter unless it affects you in some way or another. And I always took that as a way to reach people. I don’t care whether they’re Republican or Democrat or independent. It takes the issue and the persons involved, and you can make changes if you have a positive way of handling any serious question.” Patricia Saiki September 20, 2018 Table of Contents Interview Abstract i Interviewee Biography ii Editing Practices iii Citation Information iii Interviewer Biographies iv Interview 1 Notes 46 Abstract Patricia Saiki’s path to Capitol Hill began in Hawaii, where she was born to Japanese-American parents in 1930. While raising five children, she worked as a teacher, union organizer, and state legislator before winning a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1986. She was the first Republican and second woman to represent Hawaii in Congress since statehood. In this interview, she discusses her long political career, providing insight into Hawaiian state politics, her legislative strategies as an elected representative at the state and federal level, and the role of women in American politics during the 1970s and 1980s.

During Fiscal Year 2012, the Montgomery County Commission for Women (“MCCFW”) worked to reorganize and celebrate the work of the Commission for the past 40 years. In a climate of serious County budget cuts, we started the year with the triumph of learning that, while included in the newly established Community Engagement Cluster, the MCCFW would maintain its autonomy of remaining an independent advisory board that reports to the County Executive and County Council. Although the office was maintained, we faced new challenges, including adjusting to the elimination of all staff positions except the Executive Director and relocating to a new office location while still trying to meet the needs of women and children.
