Evidence

Hirono said the Senate Armed Services Committee passed its FY27 NDAA draft and that she had secured provisions investing in military readiness, Hawaii, the Indo-Pacific Region, and servicemembers and their families, including language on Hawaii land lease negotiations. She also said she remained committed to working toward a final version of the bill.

Strong partial progress: the committee advanced a FY27 NDAA draft with Hirono-backed Hawaii, readiness, Indo-Pacific, servicemember, and land-lease provisions, but the bill was not final.

At a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing on FY2027 Indo-Pacific readiness and strategy, Hirono pressed INDOPACOM leadership on readiness, munitions, and Hawaii land lease negotiations, emphasizing good-faith talks and warning against short-circuiting the process by seeking condemnation.

Concrete ongoing advocacy in the lookback window: Hirono actively pushed for Hawaii land-lease talks and Indo-Pacific readiness provisions at an FY27 hearing.

The promise was to keep working toward a final FY27 NDAA containing Hawaii, readiness, Indo-Pacific, servicemember, and land-lease negotiation provisions. The available evidence shows Hirono materially advanced that goal in office: she helped move the FY27 NDAA through the Senate Armed Services Committee, said she secured relevant provisions in the committee draft, and publicly pressed military leadership on readiness and Hawaii land-lease negotiations. But the evidence does not show that a final FY27 NDAA was enacted with those provisions, so the full promised outcome is not yet delivered. That makes this substantial same-term progress, but only partial fulfillment so far.
