We are sad to report that Mr. Tom Okamura, the State Representative for Aiea and Halawa, has resigned due to health reasons.
Mr. Okamura previously served as a state representative for the Aiea area between 1980 and 2000, when he resigned for health reasons. He was recently reappointed as a representative by Governor Neil Abercrombie to replace Mr. Blake Oshiro, who Mr. Abercrombie appointed as his new deputy chief of staff.
We know that Mr. Okamura worked tirelessly for his community for several decades and we sincerely thank him for his hard work and wish him the very best.
