Aloha Members,

As we celebrate this Easter season, I want to extend my warmest wishes to you and your ‘ohana across our beautiful islands.

Easter is a time of renewal, hope, and new beginnings. Just as the sun rises over Haleakalā and the waves return faithfully to our shores, we are reminded that even after the darkest moments, light and life prevail. This season calls us to reflect on faith, perseverance, and the promise of restoration—not just in our personal lives, but in our communities and our state.

Here in Hawaiʻi, we are blessed with a spirit of aloha that binds us together—through challenges and triumphs alike. Easter reminds us to lean into that spirit: to care for one another, to lift up those in need, and to remain steadfast in our commitment to serving others with humility and purpose.

As Republicans, we are grounded in values of faith, family, personal responsibility, and service. This season renews our sense of kuleana—to our neighbors, to our communities, and to the future of Hawaiʻi. It is a time to come together, strengthen our bonds, and continue the work of building a better path forward for all who call these islands home.

May this Easter bring peace to your hearts, joy to your homes, and renewed strength for the journey ahead. May you feel the blessings of this season in the laughter of your keiki, the embrace of your loved ones, and the quiet moments of reflection that remind us what truly matters.

Have a beautiful Easter!

With aloha,

Shirlene
