Councilmember Tasha Kama
A selfless public servant
We are deeply saddened by the passing of our beloved Councilmember, Tasha Kama—who left a legacy of a selfless public servant. She was a resolute member of the Maui County Council representing Kahului and known for her work on affordable housing as the Chair of the Council’s Land Use and Housing Committee. She was a relentless champion for Native Hawaiian causes, especially their housing needs. Councilmember Tasha Kama understood the challenges faced by many of Maui’s hard-working families because she also experienced them. Her steady leadership and her steadfast commitment to our community helped shaped many of the housing policies that brought positive impacts on the lives of many Maui ‘ohana.
Councilmember Tasha Kama will always be remembered for her Christian faith, compassion, and commitment to public service. She never shied away from her deep faith and her love for God. Her warm-hearted and respectful demeanor and steady temperament at the Maui County Council is what sets her apart from other elected officials. She walks the talk in her conviction in addressing Maui’s housing crisis. Maui lost a public servant who had the heart of our hard-working ‘ohana.
We at the Fil-Am Voice extend our deepest condolences and prayers to Councilmember Tasha Kama’s family. We are grateful for her service and she will certainly be missed. Because of her faith she is now in the presence of God and accepting the greatest accolade from her Almighty Creator saying, “My Good and Faithful servant.” Welcome home!
