Aloha, I am Mazie Hirono. I was born on November 3, 1947, in Japan. I am currently serving as the junior United States Senator from Hawaii, representing the Democratic Party. I have had the privilege of serving in various political roles, including as a member of the United States House of Representatives, the Hawaii House of Representatives, and as Hawaii's tenth lieutenant governor. I am proud to be the first elected female senator from Hawaii, the first Asian-American woman elected to the Senate, and the nation's first Buddhist senator. Thank you for the opportunity to serve the people of Hawaii.
