A Lahaina native and longtime community organizer, Kiakona emerged as one of West Maui's leading advocates following the August 2023 wildfires.  Since then, he has worked alongside residents to advance housing solutions, strengthen community-led recovery, and support legislation that would return greater local control over short-term vacation rentals to Hawaiʻi's counties.

"I'm deeply honored to have the support of organizations that have spent years standing up for Hawaiʻi's workers, families, and communities," said Pāʻele Kiakona, Green Party candidate for Hawaiʻi State House District 14. "Together, we're showing that when communities organize around shared values, we can create lasting solutions for housing, recovery, and the future of West Maui."
