J. Kalani English Retires
The Senate Presidents’ Forum is saddened to say “Aloha” to Senator J. Kalani English. Sen. English, the Majority Leader for Hawaii, has served in the Senate for 24 years and has long been a participant and contributor to our Forum. He has announced his retirement, effective Saturday, May 1, citing the lingering effects from COVID-19.
All of us hope for Sen. English to have a rapid return to health, and that he may continue to make significant contributions to his state and to the Forum.
