A Conversation with Rep. Kai Kahele
From the National Guard magazine website
Love of flying brought Lt. Col. Kaiali’i Kahele to the Hawaii Air National Guard. A desire to continue the work of his late father, Gil Kahele, brought him to public office. Now, Kahele is one of only six currently drilling Guardsmen who serve in Congress.
A former Hawaii state senator who also flies as a civilian pilot for Hawaiian Airlines, the freshman congressman believes he would not be a member of Congress were it not for his Guard service.
He brings a unique perspective to Capitol Hill, having participated in COVID-19 missions in his home state, flown combat missions overseas and taken part in numerous humanitarian relief missions.
