For first-term Congressman @repkahele (D-Hawaii),

For first-term Congressman @repkahele (D-Hawaii), commitment is a part of day-to-day living. And because of his commitment, he left the campaign trail last year to battle the COVID-19 pandemic.

The native Hawaiian, a member of the Air National Guard who commissioned in 2001, initially joined the Guard in 1999 and completed a year of Air Force pilot training in Mississippi in 2001. Ultimately, he was selected to fly F-15s by the Hawaii National Guard.

Kahele soon deployed to Afghanistan. He became an aircraft commander and C-17 instructor pilot leading multiple C-17 missions into combat.

In 2016, he was elected to the Hawaii Senate and currently serves in the Air National Guard out of Hickam Air Force Base on Oahu.

“I’ve always been somebody who’s wanted to be … boots on the ground, walking with the soldiers and the airmen,” he said. “And I think that’s the only way you really understand what the reality is like for those soldiers, those airmen, their children, their husbands, their wives, their families that they leave to answer the call.”

He said he feels the experience has served him well in his political career and sets him apart from his Congressional brethren.

He's also only the second native Hawaiian to represent his state in Congress.

“I firmly believe that the state of Hawaii should have one member of the Congressional delegation that is of native Hawaiian ancestry because there are many issues that exist today between the federal government and the native Hawaiian indigenous community that’s still gone unresolved,” he said.
