Aloha!

​

I’m Janel Fujinaka, a proud, locally born-and-raised resident of Oahu living in Makiki, and I’m running for State House District 26, Makiki, Punchbowl, Papakōlea, and Tantalus, because working families like mine deserve a stronger voice at the Capitol. I know what it means to work hard, stretch a paycheck, and worry about the rising cost of living. Those experiences shape how I lead and why I fight for practical, community-first solutions.

​

For more than 15 years, I’ve served alongside our neighbors, supporting community, leading emergency outreach during crises, and helping local nonprofits connect people to the resources they need. I’ve seen firsthand that real progress happens when we put people before politics and work together to solve problems.

​

I’m running to tackle homelessness with dignity, support safe and thriving schools, improve our parks and infrastructure, and build a government that is transparent, accountable, and focused on the everyday needs of working families. This campaign is about our community, our future, and making sure no one gets left behind.

​Mahalo~
