WASHINGTON (KITV) — Itās not every day members of Congress receive positive feedback from their constituents. But U.S. Rep. Kai Kahele (D-Hawaii) is getting just that, and from an unlikely place.
He received a letter from 9-year-old Noah Andrade, who attends Noelani Elementary School in Honolulu.
Kahele posted a tweet of their FaceTime call over the weekend and it has received several hundred likes and re-tweets since then. Noah thanked the Congressman for passing the American Rescue Plan, the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package passed in March. In the letter, Noah also drew a picture of the U.S. Capitol.
The letter is part of Noahās school writing project.
āTo get letters like this really makes you realize why youāre here and the impact we make in the lives of people all over America,ā Kahele told KITV. āAnd, for me personally, how decisions I make affect lives back in Hawaiiās 2nd Congressional District.ā
Kahele has now framed the letter and says he will hang it up in his Washington, D.C. office.
