Governor Josh Green
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 withAutism 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.

Jaime and I are honored to be co-chairs of the Light the World Giving Machines again!
Last year, Hawaiʻi raised nearly $245,000. With the heart of our community and the needs of our families in mind, we’re committed to helping exceed that number this year.
During this season of giving, these machines are a reminder that even small acts of kindness can transform lives. Hawaiʻi shows up for one another — and that’s what makes this program so powerful. It’s an honor to help light the world, together.
Thank you to @GovCox, @GovJoshGreenMD, @GovernorHobbs, @GovernorLittle, @GovGianforte, and @GovMLG for joining us at WGA’s Winter Meeting in Arizona last week! Western Governors once again showed how to put partisanship aside to tackle big policy challenges on behalf of the West.
