GOV. JOSH GREEN sent a message for Thanksgiving weekend to constituents: "Happy Thanksgiving! I wanted to take a moment this week to express my thanks to you — it's been an honor to serve as your governor every day for the past two years, and I am truly grateful.
"This week we have been able to share some of that gratitude with those in need, and thank some of those working every day to build a better Hawai'i.
"We delivered food to a kauhale village providing shelter for the homeless in Waimanalo, we honored and supported Lahaina teachers who went above and beyond to help keep school open for students affected by the wildfires, and we served a Thanksgiving meal to residents of Ka La'i Ola, a temporary housing development on Maui that will house up to 1,500 wildfire survivors for up to five years.
"Thank you again for the faith, trust, and support you have given me as governor over the last two years— it's made all the difference to the work we have been able to do, and I am deeply grateful.
"From my family to yours, we wish you a safe, healthy, and happy Thanksgiving!"
