Governor Josh Green recently appointed Joje May Mizuno to represent District 29 in the State House of Representatives (Kamehameha Heights, Kalihi Valley, and a portion of Kalihi). She succeeds her husband John Mizuno, who was appointed by Governor Green as the Coordinator on Homelessness in December.

Mizuno has served the public for the past 17 years as chief of staff to former Representative Mizuno. Prior to that she was a legislative aide for Hawai‘i State Representative Felipe “Jun” Abinsay.

Mizuno, whose role as a Representative is effective immediately, serves on Neighborhood Board No. 16.  Her public service extends to the Congress of Visayan Organizations, the Aloha Medical/Goodwill mission, among other work.
