UHPA is pleased to announce continued support for Senator Donovan Dela Cruz. Sen. Dela Cruz Chairs the Ways and Means Committee, the work he has accomplished on behalf of the faculty demonstrates his understanding of the issues pertaining to the University of Hawai`i system and economic issues confronting UH and the UH faculty that we represent. We appreciated working with Senator Dela Cruz.
Trish La Chica is another newcomer to the Legislature and UHPA is pleased to endorse her. Although new to the elected side of the legislative process, Trish has been following closely the issues unfolding at the legislature as a community advocate for public health. Trish’s time advocating has provided her with insight to the legislative process. Trish’s background will serve her well as an advocate for UHPA and her community. We are excited to endorse Trish for House District 36.
UHPA is pleased to endorse Rep. Eli. She served as the Vice Chair of Labor this past session and demonstrated strong support for the issues important to UHPA. The work she supported on behalf of the faculty demonstrated her understanding of the issues pertaining to the University of Hawai`i system and economic issues confronting UH and the UH faculty that we represent. We have appreciated working with her over the years and look forward to many more.
UHPA continues to endorse Representative Woodson who chairs the House Higher Education Committee. UHPA continues to work closely with him and appreciates his open door policy. We look forward to working with him in the future.
