Political Quotes

“Today marks the 3-month anniversary of the Maui wildfires that destroyed Lahaina and took its somber place in history as the deadliest wildfire in the United States in over a century. As the sole Representative of the people for Maui in the United States House of Representatives, I have traveled there every week since the fires first broke, sometimes three or four times a week, to connect people with the services and support that they need, to advocate for Federal assistance, and to receive and listen to their stories. These are stories of loved ones lost, homes burned, businesses in limbo, victims and first responders alike dealing with grief and anguish, but these are also the stories of hope, the aloha, the gratitude, and the ability of a community coming together to find the strength to heal. This is the story of Maui. Today and every week, I will come to the House floor to uplift their voices, the voices of her people, so that you know what help is still very much needed and understand the important role each Member of Congress can play in rebuilding this beautiful place that we love. ____________________”
