US Sen. Mazie K. Hirono has reintroduced a bill aimed at promoting the teaching of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander history in public schools.
On January 13, 2018, Hawaiians awoke on that Saturday morning in the belief that a rogue nation had launched nuclear missiles at their homes and had just minutes to say their goodbyes.
U.S. Sen. Mazie Hirono on Thursday during a meeting of the Senate Armed Services Committee questioned Gen. Glen VanHerck, commander of the U.S. Northern Command and North American Aerospace Defense Command, about the need for a robust, unified plan for missile defense of Hawai‘i.
Sen. Mazie Hirono wants answers from military leaders about missile defense in the islands amid rising tensions in the Pacific, asking senior military brass about the Pentagon’s strategy for defending Hawaii.
