On 13 August 2022, members of WUB Hawaii went over to Jill Tokuda’s election night celebration at Castle High School in Kaneohe. We all cheered when the election results showed that Jill won by a very comfortable margin. She is well on her way to becoming Hawaii’s next Congresswoman in Washington D.C.

For our Obuchi Scholar, Mana Takita, the way we do politics in Hawaii is quite different from Japan.

WUB Hawaii is happy to see the younger generation Uchinanchus making an impact on their world. I told Jill: “I will come and visit you in Washington D.C.!”
