Joe’s #1 Priority Is Jobs

As House Transportation Chair, Joe is submitting legislation for a $4 Billion Highway Modernization Program to build and repair roads, bridges and dams. Maui’s share will generate construction & engineering jobs on the new Lahaina-to-Airport access road and Hana Hwy. to Paia.

Cheaper Gasoline

Joe is working on Harbor dredging funding to allow bulk shipments of gasoline that will reduce costs. Building new, larger storage tanks will enable dealers to offer lower fuel prices.

Investing in Children

Joe Souki made it a priority to find $67 million to end teacher furloughs – putting teachers back in the classroom. He secured funds for building a new Wailuku Elementary School and extensive improvements for Waihee School.
