What People Are Saying About Dan

Daniel K. Inouye, the most senior member of the United States Senate, has quietly made his mark as a can-do legislator, working to benefit all of Hawaii. He has fought for jobs, quality education for our keiki, better infrastructure for our islands, and a cleaner environment. This is the work he's done since he was first elected in to the Senate in 1962, and this is the work he'll continue to do in 2010.

People across Hawaii are talking about how Senator Dan has helped them and delivered for Hawaii. These are their stories.

Senator Inouye has helped deliver hundreds of millions of dollars in funding for defense, astronomy, computer science, biotechnology, renewable energy and ocean sciences. Major projects have included the Hawai‘i Renewable Energy Development Venture, the Maui High Performance Computing Center, the Thirty Meter Telescope project on Mauna Kea, the Advanced Solar Telescope, the Center of Excellence for Research in Ocean Sciences, the Women in Technology Project, the Hawai‘i Technology Development Venture, and countless research and development projects with the University of Hawai‘i, the Department of Defense and private industry. As a result, there are today nearly 2,000 high-tech companies in the Islands, over 30,000 individuals working in the science and technology fields, and new career opportunities for a new generation of Islanders.
