Representative Kymberly Marcos Pine was elected to the State House of Representatives in 2004. She is currently the Minority Floor Leader.

She represents District 43, which covers the areas of West Loch Fairways, West Loch Village, a portion of Ewa By Gentry, Puuloa, Ocean Pointe, Ewa Beach and Iroquois Point.  She is the first Republican to be elected to this seat since statehood.  A trained journalist, Kymberly never imagined that she would be an elected official. Seeing Ewa Beach neglected by government leaders in the areas of traffic relief, school funding and crime motivated her to run for office to ensure that Ewa Beach would no longer be left behind.  Since her election, Ewa Beach has received over $600 million for new roads, schools and various other projects.  Tougher crime laws were also passed. Kymberly is now Hawaii's leading expert in cyber crime legislation.

Kymberly has a strong work ethic and a passionate desire to succeed.  She graduated from the prestigious University of California, Berkeley where she obtained a Bachelor's Degree in English.  She has won numerous awards for her writing, and was the youngest to be appointed as Director of the Minority Research Office in the State House of Representatives.  In this position, she ran a team focused on finding waste and mismanagement in government spending and creating new solutions to Hawaii's problems.  Her work in policy has received extensive coverage in local television, radio, and print media and has also been used by the Governor's and Lt. Governor's offices.  Kymberly has 14 years of experience working at the State Capitol.

Kymberly is also an avid athlete.  She completed the 42-mile Molokai Channel canoe race to Oahu and the Waikiki Rough Water Swim 2.4 mile competition.  In high school she was a well-known athlete as a member of the Hawaii Olympic Development Soccer Team, and was chosen as the Oahu Interscholastic Association West All-Star MVP player.  She was also a cross-country and track standout, placing second in the OIA in various competitions. 

Family
In the early 1900's, Kymberly's grandfather emigrated from the Ilocos Norte, Philippines with a few pesos, a photograph of the Statue of Liberty, and a dream that his descendants would one day go to college and be spared the hardships of plantation life.  He later went on to fight in World War II and was one of thousands of U.S. military men and women who defended America during the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Kymberly's great grandparents on her grandmother's side of the family emigrated from Pangasinan and Tarlac, Philippines. They worked on Maui and Ewa plantations.  Her family was very poor back then but worked hard to ensure success for future generations.  This is one of the reasons that Rep. Pine is so passionate about helping the poor and why she has worked for over six years at U.S. VETS - HAWAII, a home for former homeless veterans. 

Kymberly is also related to Alexander Hamilton, one of America's founding fathers who enabled millions of citizens to achieve the American Dream.  She is married to Navy LT Brian Ryglowski who works at the Pearl Harbor Navy Shipyard.  Kymberly and Brian are members of the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church in Ewa Beach where she is a lector.
