Josh Green first ran for office hoping to work on some of the issues he had seen first-hand as an emergency room physician. But his experience and expertise took on an unanticipated relevance during the Covid-19 pandemic, and in addition to his role as lieutenant governor, Green became Hawaii’s Covid response liaison.
In the first episode of the Hawaii season of The People’s People podcast, Lt. Governor Green discusses his role in helping manage Hawaii’s pandemic policies and the personal impact the virus had on him and his family. He tells journalist Lindsey Christ about his weekend work in the emergency room, and how his patients react to him now that he is a statewide leader.
The wide-ranging conversation includes details about Green’s childhood in Pittsburg and how he met his wife in Hawaii. And he is the first elected official to take the Hawaii lightning round, answering pressing questions like whether he prefers Spam or Portuguese sausage and whether he would choose brunch or pau hana.
