Mufi Hannemann’s Summary

Mufi Hannemann is the 12th mayor of the City and County of Honolulu, the 13th largest municipality in the United States. Following an illustrious career in business, government, and politics, he took office on January 2, 2005, becoming Honolulu’s first native-born mayor in almost 40 years.

Hannemann’s goals as mayor have included restoring fiscal integrity and accountability at City Hall, focusing on basic public services, and improving the quality of life for all of Honolulu’s citizens. The focus on City services is directed at ensuring public safety; repairing and maintaining roads; accelerated maintenance of parks and other public facilities; improving an aging sewer system and managing solid waste and recycling; tackling traffic and transportation issues; expanding the use of computer and telecommunication technology for government services; and aggressively promoting business growth and private sector job creation.

The mayor is leading the planning and development of the county’s first rail transit system, which is poised to break ground in 2009; played a pivotal role in averting the closure of the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard, Hawaii’s largest single industrial employer; greatly expanded public-private partnerships with business and community organizations; embarked on an aggressive, long-term program of infrastructure upgrades; accelerated parks maintenance; and pursued environmental initiatives such as preserving Hanauma Bay and Waimea Valley. Hanauma Bay, in particular, has emerged as a model for eco-tourism, thanks largely to Hannemann’s efforts while a Councilman to preserve this heavily used but fragile natural resource.
