I am committed to continuing to explore every avenue to secure federal funds that can make a real difference for families striving to thrive in Hawaiʻi.
Continue securing federal funds for Hawaii.
Occurrences
Evidence
Tokuda said the House-passed bipartisan minibus package delivers real investments in clean water, research, jobs, and public safety for Hawaiʻi, and that she secured Community Project Funding including $1,092,000 for a new Kauaʻi water storage tank, $1,092,000 for Maui water-treatment upgrades, $995,000 for UH Hilo spectrometry equipment, and $775,000 for an aquaculture research station; the measure then went to the Senate.
Assessments
Tokuda promised to continue securing federal funds for Hawaii, a broad spending commitment. During her current House term, she voted for and claimed Community Project Funding in FY2026 appropriations packages, including specific Hawaii water, research, aquaculture, housing, and education-related funds. The cited January 2026 package was only House-passed at that point, but other FY2026 appropriations funding for Hawaii projects championed by Tokuda was later signed into law on February 3, 2026 while she remained in office. Because the outcome is federal funding secured for Hawaii during the same federal term with material candidate involvement, this counts as delivered.
