“Since you elected me in 2022 to represent House District 22, I have worked to provide responsive representation and deliver meaningful results for Mānoa, McCully-Mōʻiliʻili and Tantalus. It is an honor to serve the community my family and I call home, and I remain grateful for the trust you have placed in me.”
(Andrew Takuya Garrett campaign website) “As chair of the House Committee on Higher Education, I have championed college affordability, workforce development, responsible governance, and a stronger University of Hawaiʻi system. I believe education remains one of our most powerful tools for expanding opportunity, strengthening our economy, and making it possible for future generations to build their lives here at home.”
(Andrew Takuya Garrett campaign website) “There is still much more to accomplish. I remain guided by a simple commitment: listen carefully, work collaboratively, and never lose sight of the people I was elected to serve. By bringing people together and staying focused on practical solutions, I believe we can continue moving our community and our state forward—together.”
