Elected in 2002, Representative Scott Y. Nishimoto proudly serves House District 23, which includes Ala Moana, Kaheka, McCully, Moiliili, and Kapahulu. Born in Honolulu, Scott attended Manoa Elementary School, St. Louis School, and graduated from Mid-Pacific Institute. While earning his Bachelors in Sociology at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, he served as the Student Body President. Thereafter, Scott attended the William S. Richardson School of Law, where he earned a Juris Doctor in 2002. Before holding public office, Scott worked as a staff member in the Washington, D.C. office of U.S. Senator Daniel K. Inouye.

Over his 20 years of service at the legislature, Scott has served as Chair of House Judiciary, Chair of Higher Education, Chair of Legislative Management, Chair of the Subcommittee on Grants-in-Aid, Vice Chair of the House Finance, and Chair of the Subcommittee on Capital Improvement Projects.

Scott is committed to maintaining a close relationship with the community. He serves on the UH College of Arts and Sciences Alumni Association Board, and Diamond Head Theatre Community Advisory Board. He is a member of the Diamond Head Lions Club and the Kapahulu-Moiliili Lions Club. In 2016, Scott was awarded the Dean's Alumnus of the Year by the UH William S. Richardson School of Law for his dedication to public service. In 2018, he was recognized as one of the Legislators of the Year by the Healthcare Association of Hawaii for his work in supporting Hawaii's healthcare workers. Most recently, Scott was honored with the award of 2019 Legislator of the Year by the Friends of the Library of Hawaii for his commitment to improving, supporting, and strengthening the Hawaii State Library Systems.

Scott's leadership has been recognized both nationally and within the Asia-Pacific region. In 2012, the National Guard Association of the United States awarded Scott the Patrick Henry Award, which recognizes local officials and civic leaders who have shown outstanding and exceptional service to the Armed Forces or National Guard. Scott also serves as a Council Leader on the U.S. Japan Council, a non-profit organization that contributes to strengthening U.S.-Japan relations.

Thank You VITA Tax Help!

Virtual Town Hall

On February 24, 2021, I held my annual Legislative Town Hall with Representative Belatti and Representative Saiki. This town hall is important to me because it allows me to hear about the issues that matter most to my community.

In consideration of social distancing, this year's town hall was held virtually for the first time. Thank you to all of the participants that came out to join us in this community discussion!

10th Annual Community Tax Clinic

It is my pleasure to share with you that this is the tenth year that I will be co-sponsoring a free tax return preparation clinic. Our friends at VITA Tax Help and Financial Empowerment Solution have kindly volunteered to serve our community and provide their expert services at no cost.

In consideration of social distancing, this free tax clinic will adhere to new guidelines. Participants will need to come to the Hawaii State Capitol to drop off their tax documents on either February 27th or March 6th. The tax experts at VITA will then prepare your tax return and have you pick it up on March 6th or March 13th.

Interested participants can go online to https://www.hawaiitaxhelp.org to learn more about this free tax clinic. Appointments are required to participate in this clinic and can be scheduled by calling VITA's phone line: (808) 758-4213. Please utilize the 'Free Tax Help' tab on their website to check your eligibility and gather the required documents for your appointment.

You may send any tax clinic related questions to: [email protected]

2021 Session Greetings

Dear Neighbor,

The 2021 Legislative Session kicked off on Wednesday, January 20th. On the house floor, there are protective barriers between each State Representative, and my colleagues and I wear our masks during each interaction. Although this session is unlike anything that I've seen in my 18 years of service here at the capitol, I'll make sure that your voices are heard and that you receive the help you need during this time.

As part of my commitment to keep you informed, I would like to notify you about the state's latest vaccination plan so you know when and where you and your loved ones can get vaccinated if you wish. Please subscribe to my electronic newsletter to get these updates.

I want to thank you for your commitment to health and safety during this time. Sometimes, even I can't get my head around this "new normal," but I want to do everything in my power to keep your families, friends, and neighbors safe. Let's continue to look out for each other, practice social distancing, and embrace the Aloha spirit.

Although my office is closed to public access, I am here to serve your needs and continue to assist you in any way possible. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me by email or by phone at 586-8515.

With Much Aloha,
Scott Y. Nishimoto
