Sharon Moriwaki grew up for a portion of her childhood in District 12, in the Sheridan area.  She has the unique distinction of serving in leadership positions in all three branches of government — the executive branch, the judicial branch, and now our legislative branch.  This knowledge of how government works provides the Senator with an effective and collaborative approach to problem solving and service to her constituents. Her annual survey to constituents sets her legislative actions.  These priorities have been — affordable housing, homelessness, crime and noise pollutions, kupuna and keiki, and sea-level rise.  Senator Moriwaki chairs the Senate Committee on Government Operations and is a member of the Ways and Means, Health, and Housing Committees.  She also serves on the Senate’s Special Committee on COVID-19.
