"But at the same time I intend to go forward with the values that we hold dear in Hawaii and that those are values of decency and care for others. There are a lot of things that we need to do and I intend to do it by colleagues in the House and Senate. As well as locally, by the way. There are a lot of issues that are going to be dealt with by state legislature and our council, so I would say that going forward I would like to be working much for closely to get things done for our people of Hawaii," said Senator Hirono.

The other thing about Project 2025 that concerns me is that any kind of an effort to eliminate the United States Department of Education. That is really important in terms of support for schools in Hawaii. So those are the kinds of very specific problematic changes Trump could pursue that I will be watching," said the U.S. Senator.
