I’m grateful to Secretary McMahon for working with us to protect this funding and will continue working every day to make sure Hawai‘i gets its fair share of federal dollars.
People were pretty thrilled about the idea that America First, in their mind, meant that we were going to not do this kind of adventurism.
This is good news for Hawai‘i. This money helps thousands of young kids develop learning skills and gives local families more affordable child care options.
