He served ten terms, staying involved in politics until his death. Some of his career highlights include local community work, establishing a county system, appointed native Hawaiians into government positions, and promoted the Hawaii Statehood Act. His work improved the native Hawaiian’s integration into government. He is remembered with many streets, beaches, and schools in his name
