Tokuda (HI-02) published the following statement honoring the life of Governor George Ariyoshi, reflecting on his decades of public service and the enduring impact of his leadership on the State.\n\n\"Governor Ariyoshi was more than quiet and effective\u2014he was a model for how to live and lead with values and a strength of character that shaped Hawai\u02bbi for generations. From his service in the U.S. Army Military Intelligence Service during World War II to becoming our nation\u2019s first Asian American governor, he broke barriers not for recognition, but to widen the path for others.\n\nThe phrase that always comes to mind when I think of him is 'kodomo no tame ni'\u2014for the sake of the children. He led with that spirit every day, seeing all of us as his children and governing with a deep responsibility to protect our people, our lands, and our way of life for those yet to come. His legacy isn\u2019t just what he achieved, but the example he set.\n\nMy heart is with the Ariyoshi \u02bbohana as we honor a life of humility, purpose, and enduring service.\"\n\n###", 1, "2026-04-21T05:46:59Z", "2026-04-21T05:48:34Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://tokuda.house.gov/media/press-releases/rep-tokuda-honors-the-legacy-of-former-governor-george-ariyoshi"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7716892287135124, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
