Together, this team has over 38 years of legislative experience. Both candidates have and will continue to champion issues important to working families such as better education, lowering the cost of healthcare, maintaining workers’ compensation, and improving long-term care. We can depend on them to work hard to set a course that meets the needs of Hawaii’s future generations. Some of those needs include working on developing clean energy and a statewide grid, maintaining the Jones Act, and stimulating job growth and economic and environmental sustainability.

June 21, 2021 the Honorable Chuck Schumer Majority Leader United
June 21, 2021 The Honorable Chuck Schumer The Honorable Nancy Pelosi Majority Leader Speaker United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Kevin McCarthy Minority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20515 Dear Majority Leader Schumer, Madam Speaker Pelosi, Minority Leader McConnell, and Minority Leader McCarthy, As state legislators, we are the day-to-day technicians in fifty unique laboratories of democracy. We do our part to make government work to the benefit of all, regardless of party. This was true during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, when almost every state did its patriotic duty to provide voters relief and remove barriers to voting. This expansion of safe, secure voting led to an election with historic turnout. The scope of these state-level attacks is unparalleled. Close to 400 anti-voter bills have been introduced in legislatures across the nation, with many signed or on the way to becoming law in Texas, Florida, Georgia, and Arizona, and others. Make no mistake: these unpatriotic attacks on our elections will undermine confidence that elections in America can possibly represent the will of a checked and balanced majority. They present a deep threat to our democracy and will lead to material harm to communities that have long been under-represented. In a functioning democracy that fairly represents the voices of all people, elected officials should work together to expand the right to vote and protect the sanctity of elections. Indeed, we have attempted again and again to work with our Republican colleagues to set policies that safely and securely expanded voting access—but they simply refuse to act in good faith.
