Issue Position: Seniors & Veterans

Issue Position

Our seniors and veterans are directly responsible for the quality of life that we enjoy today. We should honor them by ensuring that they are supported when they most need our help. As a former caregiver for my grandmother and the grandson of a World War II, Purple Heart veteran and the son of Vietnam-era veteran, I know first-hand the issues that face our seniors and our veterans. It is vital that we ensure that the elderly are well-cared for, whether living at home with loved ones or in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Seniors are one of Hawaii's most important resources and the State of Hawaii must uphold its obligations to the people who have built our State and our nation into what it is today.
