Josh Green

Green is a genuinely unusual politician because he never stopped being a doctor, he kept working weekend emergency room shifts even as a state senator, which lends real credibility when he talks about health policy. Coming from the mainland to practice medicine on the Big Island and then rising to lead the state is a distinctly Hawaii story. His handling of public health crises and the Maui wildfire recovery defined his early governorship and drew intense scrutiny. Whatever you think of his politics, a sitting lawmaker still treating patients is a rare and grounding thing in American public life.
