share the same hopes and dreams for their families. He also learned that decisions 
that affect people's lives must be made at the community level, not from the top 
down. Rep. Takumi is a strong advocate for working families. He supports raising 
the minimum wage, providing workers with paid family medical leave, and policies 
that uplift the economic, social, and emotional well-being of the people of Hawaii.
