Governor Ige fights against the unjust policies of President Trump which threaten our shared values and priorities.
Standing against discrimination. Initiated early challenge to President Trump's travel ban and stood with our Congressional delegation against discrimination policies. Hawaiʻi was first to take the case to the U.S. Supreme Court to stop President Trump's efforts on the travel ban.
Supporting all of our troops. Objected to President Trump's discriminatory policy that targeted transgender troops. Governor Ige was supported by Rep. Tammy Duckworth, a decorated veteran born and raised in Hawaiʻi. Eighteen other states followed suit.

Fighting for our students’ safety. Joined 17 states in suing Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos for rescinding the "Borrower Rule" aimed at protecting students from predatory sexual assaults.
Preserving our environment. Supported state law that committed Hawaiʻi as the first state to abide by the Paris Climate Agreement.
Advocating for our students. Called attention to the continued need for Title IX programs in our public schools and college campuses, in honor of the late Rep. Patsy Mink who was the original champion of Title IX.
Fighting for healthcare for all. Stands with our congressional delegation against the repeal of the Affordable Care Act.
Supporting our most vulnerable socio-economic classes. Stands against proposed tax reforms that will hurt the poor and our shrinking middle class.
