Superb performance in Congress!
If you haven’t noticed, Hawaii U.S. Sen. Brian Schatz is all over the media in a good way. He’s right there with the Senate minority leader at news conferences. He’s answering questions on network news about the high-profile congressional committees he works on. He’s sponsoring bills.
Just as inspiring is the performance of U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard. She’s made some very difficult but good moral decisions that displeased politicians in both parties. Whom she has not displeased are the voters.
Gabbard has also been all over the media in a good way. I’ve seen her represent us well on nightly network news, popular late-night talk shows, and even PBS genealogy shows.
With Hawaii being the most remote location in the United States, having us well-represented by members of Congress who are not asleep at the wheel is more than just good luck. That also means a big difference for the children of our great state of Hawaii.
