Floor Speeches

Hirono spoke on the floor 37 times on 30 session days in the 119th Congress.

Senate, September 30, 2026, 699 wordsHawaiian History Month
Last year, the State of Hawaii officially designated September as Hawaiian History Month. Hawaiian History Month aims to recognize, reflect, and share Hawaii's history. This year, I come to the floor to celebrate Hawaiian History Month by highlighting three Native Hawaiian leaders who have played pivotal roles in the education and perpetuation of Hawaiian culture: Mary Kawena Pukui, Levon Ohai, and Kaiulani Murphy.

On August 5, had I been present, I would have voted nay on the Motion to Invoke Cloture on the Nomination of Erica Schwartz to be Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (rollcall vote No. 219).

Senate, June 23, 2026, 607 wordsUnanimous Consent Requests
Reserving the right to object, despite its name, this bill does nothing--nothing--to meaningfully help pregnant students, nor does it protect their rights. It is yet another step in a broader war on reproductive freedom--this time by threatening funding losses for colleges and universities that do not comply.

I rise in strong opposition to the so- called SAVE America Act. What it should be called is the ``Save Trump Act.'' This bill is not about protecting elections; it is about making it harder for eligible Americans to vote, and Republicans know it.

This year marks the 250th anniversary of America's founding, and this year should be a celebration of our Nation and all those who have made it what it is.
