Will Espero has had a distinguished career in the Hawaii Senate for 18 years. He has served as the Majority Leader and most recently the Vice President of the Senate.

He will share some of the most recent legislature accomplishments especially Housing and Other Issues.

They found over half a billion dollars for affordable housing -- packaged in a way that developers were confident will actually lead to construction fairly soon.

Lawmakers continued funding for ongoing homeless programs like Housing First, which have been making slow progress. But also made another serious investment, $30 million for six Ohana Zones which will quickly provide housing for those who are still unsheltered.
