For four decades, Representative Dee Morikawa (House District 17) has been actively involved with Kaua‘i's communities through her work with the County of Kaua‘i. From her early career within Kaua‘i's Department of Parks & Recreation, efforts volunteering in numerous community projects, and coaching youth & high school sports, Representative Morikawa has proven her personal values of community involvement & sacrifice with a profound commitment to bettering the lives within our island community.

Since being elected to the Hawai‘i House of Representatives in 2011, Dee has served as the Chair of the Human Services Committee and Vice Chair of the Health Committee. She has also served as a member on the House Committees of Finance, Hawaiian Affairs, Culture & Arts, Housing, Judiciary and Lower & Higher Education.

Representative Morikawa has served as the House Majority Floor Leader since 2018. She also serves as the Vice Chair of the House Committee on Legislative Management (LMG), and as a member of the House Committees on Corrections, Military & Veterans (CMV), Finance (FIN), and Water & Land (WAL).

Representative Morikawa believes the biggest problem facing her community is aging infrastructure, and the need for new and expanded infrastructure services. Improvements identified by Representative Morikawa as necessary and in need of immediate attention include public school facilities, the Kikiaola Small Boat Harbor, and road maintenance.

Representative Morikawa attended Kapa'a High School and Kahuku High School and is a graduate of Kaua'i Community College with an AS in accounting.

Representative Dee Morikawa is married to Ken Morikawa and together have raised 4 sons: Kevin, Kelsey, Kollin, and Ken Jr.
