New Role as Vice Speaker of the Hawaii State House of Representatives

On November 17, 2006, the Hawaii State House leadership was announced in the media. Speaker Calvin K.Y. Say appointed me Vice Speaker of the House. Some of my tasks include assisting the Speaker manage the House, chairing the House floor sessions when directed by the Speaker, ex-officio to all committees, and representing and running the House in the Speaker's absence. I look forward to serving my district and the State of Hawaii in my new leadership role.
