Introducing , one of the five candidates who will be present at our Pau Hana with Hawai’i’s Future Lieutenant Governor. To meet the candidates at 6 pm tomorrow, register here: bit.ly/ydhilgpauhana22

Sylvia Luke was born in South Korea. Like many of Hawai’iʻs immigrants, her parents sought better opportunities for their young family and moved to Honolulu in 1977. Enrolled as a fifth grader at Kaʻahumanu Elementary, Sylvia could not speak English. She found an unexpected hero in her homeroom teacher, who refused to send Sylvia to ESL class, insisting, instead, on tutoring her everyday after school.

Her early experiences shaped Sylvia as a policy-maker. Sylvia has identified with the needs of immigrant populations and consistently championed educational access and teacher retention.

While attending Roosevelt High School, Sylvia’s father passed away. Now widowed, Sylvia’s mother struggled financially, yet instilled in her children that those less fortunate need assistance. Her mother's influence and service to others would inspire Sylvia to become a civic leader.

Sylvia’s first foray to public service came at UH Mānoa, when she successfully ran for President of the Associated Students of University of Hawaii, becoming the first female president in almost a decade.

In 1998, Sylvia ran for the State House of Representatives and has continued to serve her district to the present. During her tenure, she served as the Vice Speaker, Chair of the Judiciary Committee, and most recently Chair of the Finance Committee. She has championed and supported many legislation including preschool expansion, increase in affordable housing, healthcare access, marriage equality, and criminal justice reform among others.

Meet Sylvia and the other candidates tomorrow!

We're happy to welcome Ohio State Senator Tina Maharath, the first Asian American woman elected to the Ohio State Senate. The debate is hosted in Cleveland, OH, so it's special to have a history-making guest from the Buckeye State!

The incomparable @adrianktam beat a 14 year incumbent by 140 votes in his State House primary to represent Waikiki, Ala Moana, and Kakaako. He's fighting for affordable housing, high paying jobs, and all the issues that matter to us and him, as #youngdems. Now he needs our help to win in the general election.
