Aloha, team!

Yesterday, I officially filed papers to be a candidate for Governor!

This is an important step in our campaign, and it wouldn’t have happened without your help and support.

I’m running for governor because Hawaii needs elected leaders we can trust, who care about people.

As governor, I will do everything I can, every day, to keep us safe and informed, to tell you the truth, and continue to care for Hawaii’s families. I will take on the issues that matter most to the people of Hawaii — building more affordable housing, reducing homelessness, controlling the cost of living, and taking action on climate change and protecting our environment.

To accomplish this, we need a team behind me as ambitious as our campaign goals, and that means we need you. Please sign up to join our team of amazing volunteers!

Today, I’m attending a special event to honor Hawaii’s healthcare heroes.

I will celebrate Member Appreciation Day with the Hawaii Nurses Association at Ala Moana Park. I am excited to join over 200 of our healthcare heroes and their families to honor and thank Hawaii’s nurses, and express my gratitude for all their hard work and the sacrifices they made caring for us during the pandemic.

Also today, I am being recognized along with State Director of Health Dr. Libby Char as Physician of the Year by the Hawaii Medical Association for leadership during the COVID-19 pandemic.

I am extremely humbled by this honor and I will accept it on behalf of the thousands of nurses, doctors, and other healthcare professionals who have done so much for the people of Hawaii over the last two years. As HMA President Dr. Angela Pratt said, “…Hawaii’s healthcare community came together to vaccinate over 1 million people, protect our kupuna, and save thousands of lives. We are grateful…"

Without our healthcare heroes, our state wouldn’t have gotten through the pandemic with the lowest infection rate in the country.

And without your help and support, our campaign to bring trusted, caring leadership to Hawaii wouldn’t be where it is today.

Mahalo,

Dr. Josh Green
