Governor Green ordered the United States flag and the Hawaiʻi state flag to be flown at half-staff at the Capitol and all state offices and agencies as well as the Hawaiʻi National Guard in the state of Hawaiʻi in recognition of Representative Mark Nakashima who died yesterday at age 61.

Representative Nakashima, who represented House District 1 (Hāmākua, a portion of Hilo and Kaūmana, was a former educator. His vision included the development of geothermal energy statewide as a solution to break the state’s dependence on imported oil. He also worked tirelessly to create synergy between the Big Island community, public schools, and institutions of higher learning.

Representative Nakashima was a graduate of the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, holding a B.Ed. degree and a professional diploma in education, with an emphasis in political science.

In a statement Governor Green said, “Representative Nakashima’s legacy of service, dedication to education and commitment to sustainable energy will continue to inspire us all. He was a gentle yet fierce advocate for the residents of Hawai‘i, and we honor his memory and his contributions to our community and state.”
