Saying U.S. Rep. Jill Tokuda has a track record of fighting for middle-class families, the Hawaii Government Employees Association has endorsed Tokuda for re-election to Hawaii’s 2nd Congressional District.

“Everything is at stake in this election: Our jobs, health care, retirement security, and even our most basic civil rights,” HGEA Executive Director Randy Perreira said in a statement. “Words are easy — there will always be politicians who tell you what you want to hear. That’s not Jill. She understands what Hawaii’s families are facing, and she’s on the frontlines for them every day.”
