ABOUT THE GOVERNOR

Josh Green, M.D.

Governor Josh Green is a proud husband, father, and physician. For the past 20 years, Governor Green cared for Big Island families as a doctor. He served in the State House of Representatives and the State Senate from 2004 to 2018. As chair of the Senate Health and Human Services Committee, he passed “Luke’s Law,” which provides care for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, as well as tobacco and e-cigarette regulations, which increased the legal age for purchasing tobacco and e-cigarettes to 21. Passionate about housing solutions, Governor Green helped create “Kauhale” communities to get unsheltered veterans, kūpuna, and others into safe housing options. These efforts are ongoing and will continue to be one of his top priorities as Governor.  Governor Green expanded the role of Lieutenant Governor by spearheading the largest healthcare response in state history during the COVID pandemic. These critical emergency efforts resulted in Hawaiʻi having the nation’s lowest COVID-19 fatality rate.

Nothing brings people together like a good bowl of chili! I had a blast serving up my homemade chili today at our fundraiser for the 26th Annual State Employees’ Hawai‘i Foodbank Drive. Thanks to your generosity, we raised enough to provide over 7,000 meals for local families in need.

A special mahalo to Lieutenant Governor Sylvia Luke, who is leading the state’s food drive and working hard to fig

As a doctor and Governor, I know public health isn’t a place to cut corners. The proposed HHS workforce reductions will leave millions of Americans vulnerable, from infectious disease outbreaks to life-saving research setbacks. I’ve spoken with Governors on both sides of the aisle—we all rely on federal support for critical health programs. Hawai‘i remains committed to protecting our people, and I ... See MoreSee Less
