Hirono Makes Maui Rounds: Visits Kipahulu and Molokai

US Senator Mazie Hirono made several stops on Maui and Molokai this week as part of a statewide visit to meet with constituents and participate in cultural, commemorative, and educational events.

During her Maui stop, Senator Hirono met with diverse students, including those from Molokai Middle School, student-veterans at Maui College, and DREAM Act students on Maui.

“What I really enjoyed was meeting all these really smart, enthusiastic, engaged students who showed me the halau that they built with the community; and all of the science and technology work that they are doing; their history projects; and the Hawaiian immersion program,” said Sen. Hirono of her visit to Molokai Middle School on Tuesday.

“It was a terrific showing of enthusiastic, smart, young kids. It gave me a lot of hope,” she said.
