We wish to commend our Sen. Kalani English on his 25 years of service and wish him well for the future.
We are excited that Walter Ritte of Moloka’i has stated his intention to replace the senator (Gov. Ige willing).
Walter is an honored kupuna (one of the 100 for Maui’s 100th anniversary) and political activist, who has always kept the benefit of the ‘aina and the keiki in the forefront of his actions.
It will be an honor to have him serve us in the Senate. We look forward to supporting his candidacy 100 percent.
Nai’a Newlight, vice-chair, District 13; chair, precinct 13-2

HONOLULU (AP) Veteran Hawaii State Sen. Kalani English said Tuesday he will retire on May 1 after being diagnosed with long-term effects of COVID-19.
English, who serves as the Senate majority leader, said he contracted the disease while traveling outside Hawaii with family in November. His symptoms at the time were mild, but he noticed pervasive lethargy, memory challenges and “fogginess” in his thinking when he returned home.
English said in a statement he s been diagnosed as a “long-hauler” and will need to address challenges to his short- and long-term memory and other cognitive issues.
