Background: (from his website) Senator Galuteria was born and raised in the Kaka’ako and Kapahulu areas. They lived across from what is now the John A. Burns School of Medicine – an “urban plantation” at the time where he and his friends would surf the waters off of Point Panic.  Senator Galuteria developed a deep appreciation for this area.  He became a fixture in the local community in his adulthood – as a family man, businessman and public service advocate. Family is the center of Senator Galuteria’s universe. He is married to wife Abigail Lehua, and has three sons and two daughters as well as eight grandchildren.  Family inspires his drive for public service. During his first term, Senator Galuteria hit the ground running.  He was selected by his senate colleagues to serve as Majority Leader.  He also served as the Chair of the Senate Committee on Hawaiian Affairs and Tourism.  In these positions, the Senator developed and supported legislation important to the people of Hawaii.  His successes as a legislator draws from his previous work as State Chairman of the Democratic Party of Hawaii and years of service in the entertainment, business, and non-profit communities.

"I support transparency in the legislative process to the extent feasible, meaning that it does not hinder our work. I do not believe applying the Sunshine Law to the Legislature would be practical, given that each legislative session is sixty working days and during this period, lawmakers must draft, review, discuss, debate, and act on thousands of bills."

 

“I don’t appreciate anybody standing up in the public forum and saying that if we go to conference, we don’t need to talk about anything because it’s done. Is that the way to do business with the Senate? Is that why we are the upper house? Because we don’t do business like that?”

 

"We worked very hard to represent the interests of all those involved, but at the end of the day, we were unable to settle differences between the Senate and House version of the bill before the conference negotiations meeting deadline. Although the bill did not make it out of conference this legislative session, we may revisit the issue the next legislative session. I have always supported OHA's mission and will continue working with OHA on this and other issues affecting the self-determination of Native Hawaiians."

 

"What we've got now is we finished a long run on the radio and we're settling into a different rhythm, which is not the corporate rhythm, it's the Brickwood rhythm."
