If you haven’t already done so yet – please get your booster. Appointments are available here: https://t.co/X2qvKKp1qh — PolitiTweet.org

Here are some things you can do to have a safer get-together: limit gatherings to household members, gather outside, maintain your distance, wear masks inside, and take extra precautions to protect kupuna and those who can’t get vaccinated. — PolitiTweet.org

Office of the Governor, State of Hawai`i @GovHawaii

Many of you may be making plans to celebrate the New Year. If you’re celebrating with family and friends – I encourage you to do so safely. Case counts are high – and we typically see an increase during and after holiday celebrations. — PolitiTweet.org

If you haven’t already – I would encourage you to get your COVID-19 booster! Vaccination is not only safe, effective, and free, it’s also the best tool we have to combat COVID-19. I’m proud of our community for rallying together to keep one another safe. https://t.co/FmGXhbJtvq — PolitiTweet.org

Anyone with COVID-19 symptoms (even mild), is asked to stay home from work, school and other activities. They should avoid other people and get tested. Anyone who is a close contact of a known COVID-19 positive individual should get tested regardless of vaccination status. — PolitiTweet.org

Included in the budget are restoring and investing over $689 million in public education, career training for medical professions, expanded broadband, housing, and more. — PolitiTweet.org

Office of the Governor, State of Hawai`i @GovHawaii

The state budget is the single most important document developed each year that speaks to our priorities as a state. Today, I laid out a supplemental budget request that addresses issues we face today, while making investments for Hawaiʻi’s future. — PolitiTweet.org

The acts would help ensure transparency in elections, fight voter suppression laws, and establish standards for post-election audits, among other things. As stated in a joint letter – the right to vote is not a political or partisan issue, and I urge Congress to take action now. — PolitiTweet.org

Office of the Governor, State of Hawai`i @GovHawaii

Voting is one of our most fundamental rights. I’ve joined several other governors asking Congress to pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act – to protect that right for many Americans. https://t.co/UH6fMPcDP2 — PolitiTweet.org

@jon_saragosa Too late to sign the Emergency Proclamation? No, as the EP covers when the rain event started, so any damage incurred over this storm (even prior to the signing), can be covered. Mahalo. — PolitiTweet.org

If you experienced damage to your home, property, or business from the heavy rains and flooding - make sure to document and report it at the link provided below. A reminder, an emergency proclamation was signed yesterday that will free up state funds to help cover damage. — PolitiTweet.org
