Lorraine is a champion for the people, of the island and State. She is very approachable, sincerely listens to peoples’ concerns and challenges — and does something about them. Her selfless dedication is unparalleled and she had represented us in the senate very well.
I served as Lorraine’s finance director when she was the Mayor of Hawaii County in the early ‘90s. What I remember most about Lorraine was her genuine commitment to improving the quality of life for residents of the Big Island. Lorraine stood for openness and truth, and made sure everyone who worked for her did the same. As our senator, Lorraine continues to show the leadership and integrity that we all want in our leaders – she does not compromise her values, listens to the needs of constituents, and delivers on her promises.
As a teacher, I appreciate how Senator Lorraine Inouye has supported many bills to address teacher shortages and salary compression. She understands the importance of ensuring our children have a quality public education.
