Mazie Keiko Hirono learned lifelong lessons of independence and self-reliance growing up on her grandparents’ rice farm in Fukushima, Japan.
When she was nearly eight years old, her mother Laura made the courageous decision to escape her abusive marriage and take Mazie and her brothers to the United States in search of a better life. When they arrived in Hawaii, Mazie spoke no English and her mother worked low wage jobs with no job security or health benefits.
"The battles we thought we won, don't stay won; eternal vigilance is required."

On the Issues
Mazie knows that individuals, not politicians, should be the ones making decisions about our bodies and our lives. That’s why she’s fighting to block Republicans’ efforts to ban abortion nationwide and protect reproductive freedom across the country.
The right to vote is fundamental to our democracy. That’s why Mazie is fighting to protect our democracy from Donald Trump and his MAGA allies, and protect the sacred right of every American to make their voices heard in our elections.
Health care is a human right, and Mazie is fighting to make sure everyone can get the care they need to stay healthy. She’s helped to protect the Affordable Care Act from Republicans’ nonstop attacks and she’ll continue fighting to make health care affordable and accessible to all Americans.
Mazie’s working to lower the cost of living and make life more affordable for families in Hawaii. While Republicans threaten to slash critical safety net programs, Mazie is fighting to protect and strengthen Social Security and Medicare, to help ensure our kupuna receive the support they deserve.
As the consequences of climate change impact communities across Hawaii, Mazie is fighting to protect our environment. From securing funding for green-energy research to repopulating native plants, Mazie is working to strengthen our climate resilience and preserve Hawaii’s unique biodiversity for generations to come.
Mazie is committed to ensuring the Federal government meets its special trust responsibility to the Native Hawaiian community. From working to fund programs for the betterment of education, housing, and health care for the Native Hawaiian community, to fighting back against those who want to end these programs in their entirety, Mazie has been tireless in her advocacy.
