I support the State Supreme Court’s decision to end the practice of #gutandreplace It’s a victory for all in Hawaii who care about a fair & transparent lawmaking process. Do you think this will make the process more fair? #repokimoto2021 #accountability #transparency #district36
Democrats plan to spend more money over the next year than any country on earth has ever spent.   Unlike Republicans' tax reform, which saw poverty & unemployment hit record lows, the Dems’ tax-and-spending spree will harm the very people it claims to help.

We don't have to choose between supporting law enforcement or communities of color.   Why? Because more resources for officers = better policing and more safety for the most vulnerable communities.

I’ve lived in underserved communities, and I’ve experienced the very problems we’re trying to solve. I, of all people, know: If you want to keep our communities safe, you have to properly fund the police.

The American people are desperately looking for leadership. For them, “defunding the police” is not about politics — it’s literally life or death.

Having lived in some of the poorest parts of South Carolina, I can tell you first-hand that the one thing no one living in the communities where I grew up is asking for is defunding the police.

This is the way. Governor Beast Mode, fighting for the citizens who elected him. A LOT of squish Republican governors around America could learn from Ron...

“Mask mandates” run counter to the science that said vaccines are effective. @CDCgov has yet to show us any data to support their latest flip-flop. Where is the data?

We agree. This is just political theater that will jeopardize the integrity of the Social Security Administration. America’s seniors are the folks who will be most affected by President Biden’s actions here.
Social Security beneficiaries stand to lose the most from President Biden’s partisan decision to remove Commissioner Andrew Saul from leadership of the Social Security Administration. Read my full statement w/ @RepKevinBrady here: finance.senate.gov/ranking-m…

“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.” -Ronald Reagan #Independenceday #landofthefree #america #repokimoto2021 #district36 – at Mililani Mauka, HI

It has and always will come down to math. Someone has to pay for it. A living wage should not be confused with minimum wage. Either we put companies out of business or the consumer eats the cost. #commonsense #nothingisfree #fairisfair – at Mililani Mauka, HI
A restaurant in Durham, North Carolina, says it is now paying employees a fair wage but is passing the cost on to consumers. It added a 20% gratuity called a ‘Fair Wage Service Fee’ to every bill for dine-in customers. khon2.com/news/north-carolin…

The # of people collecting unemployment benefits is dropping faster in states discontinuing extended payments. We’ve got to encourage more people to get back to work. This is a no-brainer approach to making that happen: wsj.com/articles/americans-a… wsj.com/articles/americans-a…
