One in three households don't have enough food to meet their basic needs.

HGEA recommends you vote Yes on No. 1.

Your ballot must be received by Election Day, Nov. 3. Vote and mail your ballot early, or submit it in a drop box. For more information on registering to vote, visit elections.hawaii.gov.

Not a single person in Hawaii Kai elected Joe Gedeon. He was appointed to fill the remainder of Gene Ward's term after his passing last year.

Don't let the Carpenter's Union re-write history.

They're spending up to $70,000 to oppose a fellow government employee who’s running to protect your wages and benefits.

Jamie Wataru is a respected member of our community, a state worker of 24 years, trusted by mayors and governors of both parties and fighting as an EUTF Trustee to protect your medical benefits.

The midterms will mark a pivotal moment for our country. President Trump has pledged $5,000 dividends to U.S. adult citizens if the Republican Party keeps control of Congress, and his administration pushed an executive order attempting to restrict mail-in voting. What do you think these moves say about how the administration views its chances in November? And what effect do you think this will have on voting integrity?

Jill Tokuda has proven to be a bulwark against efforts to claw back hard-won workers’ rights and undermine working families. Even in these challenging circumstances, Rep. Tokuda is getting work done for Hawaii.

There is roughly $1.5 trillion in Medicare and Medicaid cuts working their way through the system, thanks to the so-called Big Beautiful Bill. For kupuna on Kauai or the Big Island who depend on Medicare, what does that actually look like in practice, and what can realistically be done to reverse it?
