An educator by training, she spent fourteen years in classrooms in Hawai'i and on the US mainland. It was her experience in Hawai'i's public school system that led her to form the state's first teachers' union, an experience that was central to her quick rise in state politics, starting with her election to Hawai'i's first Constitutional Convention in 1968. She went on to serve in the state House and Senate, two terms in the US House of Representatives, and then in the administration of President George H.W. Bush.weniger sehen
