Everyone should have the opportunity to retire with dignity. It's unacceptable that seniors are being asked to work well into their retirement and cut personal expenditures to make ends meet. As your Representative, I will continue to support: 

​

- Protecting cuts against Kupuna Care programs and senior citizen programs. 
- Alzheimer's Disease prevention initiatives
- Fund SNAP benefits that our seniors rely on
- Increase penalties on crimes against seniors
- Lowering the cost of living
- Condominium Insurance Stabilization 

​

As your Representative, I've supported initiatives for seniors with Alzheimer's like Alzheimer's friendly business certifications, increased penalties against seniors, and advocated against cuts towards programs that seniors rely on. 

​

Many seniors live in condos, and after the Lahaina wildfires that skyrocketed insurance rates. I worked with the Legislature to pass Act 296 of 2025 to reactivate the Hawaii Hurricane Relief Fund to provide stopgap hurricane insurance for condominium associations unable to find private coverage. Together, we were able to stabilize insurance rates to keep seniors and families in their homes in House District 24 and the State. 

​

When re-elected, I will continue to fight for seniors and caregivers.
