As a resident of Mililani, I am disappointed in Rep. Trish La Chica’s March 5 vote against House Bill 2079, relating to gender-affirming health care services. Her refusal to support our transgender ohana at a time when they are being demonized and persecuted across the continent is inexcusable.
However, I am more upset that she is my representative because she was appointed to that position by Gov. Josh Green last year. The fact that she is a sitting member of the Legislature at all makes it clear that the governor is not a trustworthy ally.
