@kauiLaws You're right! It's been one of the top priorities since taking office in 2014. We set a production goal of 10k new housing units by 2020. We met that & are on our way to 13k new units by the end of this year. There's still much more work to be done and we continue pressing. — PolitiTweet.org

@EAducator @RepScottSaiki Great question. Gov. Ige addressed this at a media availability yesterday: "We did a review at the ERS. We have very little to almost nothing in our retirement system that is invested in Russia. I think for the most part we’re already divested." https://t.co/lEeKkZuiz3 (21:04) — PolitiTweet.org

Residents will also have car shares + scooters on site they can rent. We know there is a demand and desire for affordable housing in Hawaiʻi for our residents. We will continue partnerships to make that happen - so our residents can continue to call Hawaiʻi home. https://t.co/D5cEAFxgSg — PolitiTweet.org
