Washington, DC – Today, U.S. Representative Jill Tokuda (HI-02) was sworn in as a member of the 119th Congress, beginning her second term serving constituents of Hawaiʻi’s Second Congressional District.
“I am humbled and honored to represent our neighbor islands and rural Oʻahu in Washington D.C. Now that I’ve been sworn in, the real work begins as we continue to fight for our keiki, kūpuna, and hardworking families that are struggling to make ends meet,” said Rep. Tokuda. “I will continue to work with anyone seeking bipartisan solutions to the challenges we face and I will fight like hell against any attempts to put benefits to billionaires over the needs of the American people. They deserve better, and you have my word that I will work with the urgency of a mother to make sure people have access to economic and job opportunities that will allow them to keep a roof over their head, put food on the table, and have equal access to the education and healthcare they need to thrive.”
