ABOUT THE GOVERNOR

Josh Green, M.D.

Governor Josh Green is a proud husband, father, and physician. For the past 20 years, Governor Green cared for Big Island families as a doctor. He served in the State House of Representatives and the State Senate from 2004 to 2018. As chair of the Senate Health and Human Services Committee, he passed “Luke’s Law,” which provides care for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, as well as tobacco and e-cigarette regulations, which increased the legal age for purchasing tobacco and e-cigarettes to 21. Passionate about housing solutions, Governor Green helped create “Kauhale” communities to get unsheltered veterans, kūpuna, and others into safe housing options. These efforts are ongoing and will continue to be one of his top priorities as Governor.  Governor Green expanded the role of Lieutenant Governor by spearheading the largest healthcare response in state history during the COVID pandemic. These critical emergency efforts resulted in Hawaiʻi having the nation’s lowest COVID-19 fatality rate.

Today, I have the honor of announcing that the state is officially transferring Moku‘ula and Loko O Mokuhinia to Maui County for cultural and ecological restoration. This gesture signifies the first step in our commitment to preserving and honoring the cultural heritage of Lahaina, providing a space for reflection, learning, and healing.
 
I have been deeply moved by the courage and resilience of our Maui community over the past year. Let us continue to support one another and foster hope as we move forward. Together, we can overcome the most challenging circumstances, honoring the memory of those we have lost and building a stronger future as we continue in our recovery.
