Senator Ronald Kouchi, President has released the 2024 Session’s Leadership and Committee Assignments. These changes include former Senator Gil Keith Agaran’s departure and the appointment of former Representative Troy Hashimoto. Of note, the LBT and WAM Committees have significant leadership changes as well.

House Speaker Saiki sent a memo identifying leadership and committee assignment changes for Representatives, Lisa Marten, Trish LaChica, and Tyson Miyake, who replaced Troy Hashimoto. These changes reflect former Representative John Mizuno’s resignation from the House to become the State Homeless Coordinator.  Once Governor Green appoints a replacement for Mizuno, the House will provide an updated House Leadership and Committee Assignments.

The new 2024 Senate Leadership and Committee Assignment document is now available.
