Dear Friends,

Thank you for your interest in the Democratic Caucus website, where you can learn more about our work.

Throughout this session, many important issues involving native Hawaiians have been, and will continue to be, discussed. As your Representative, one of my legislative goals is to formulate solutions that will be satisfactory to as many people as possible.

I hope this website will be useful to you as an information resource. Please contact me with any concerns or questions you may have regarding the legislative process.

Sincerely,
Scott K. Saiki
State Representative
