Kuhio Day

Happy Kuhio Day! Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole was the first Congressional delegate to represent Hawaii in the United States Congress. His vision for the State of Hawaii is just as relevant today as it was 100 years ago, from statehood to the Hawaiian Homes Commission Act. Prince Jonah recognized the ideals of the Party of Lincoln, as such, the Hawaii Republican Party continues the legacy of the Party of Kuhio.

“Do not leave it possible for any Hawaiian to say that, either politically or economically, he was better off under the old monarchy than he may be to-day under the American flag.”
– Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole, Congressional Record, February 23, 1905
