Growing up in Paia and Kahului has cultivated Senator Keith-Agaran's passion for Maui and Valley Isle residents. Gil brings a wealth of experience from the practice of law, and work in county and State government to the Capitol.
With fewer agricultural and blue collar jobs for Central Maui working families, Senator Keith-Agaran believes focused training and key infrastructure construction and expansion are key priorities to bringing well-paying jobs closer to home. Specifically, he envisions a growing health and science campus building on the proximity of Maui Memorial Medical Center, the Kaiser Foundation facilities, the Community Clinic of Maui, and UH-Maui College. He also believes that the State, county and private sectors should partner to reserve and create quality affordable workforce housing.
Senator Keith-Agaran is a graduate of Maui High School. He has a BA in history from Yale College in New Haven, Connecticut and he is a graduate of Boalt Hall School of Law at the University of California at Berkeley. Gil is a partner in the Maui law firm of Takitani & Agaran. He is married to Kallie Keith-Agaran.
