Re: Nomination of John K. McBride to the Transportation Commission representing Council
District 2
Aloha Council Chair Inaba and Council Members,
I am pleased to nominate Mr. John McBride of Ka`umana to the Transportation Commission
representing Council District 2. Mr. McBride is a lifelong resident of our island community and a
proud graduate of Hilo High School.
With a background as a Mechanical Welder, Mr. McBride has gained extensive work experience
through his roles at Mauna Kea Sugar, Hilo Coast Processing Company, Sonomura
Contracting, and at Hale Pohaku on Mauna Kea. Over the last two decades, he has transitioned
into entrepreneurship as a tour operator.
Mr. McBride's strong connection to our community, combined with his professional experience,
positions him well in contributing effectively to the Transportation Commission. He is dedicated
to enhancing our transportation infrastructure and ensuring it meets the needs of our residents.
If confirmed, Mr. McBride will serve a term to end on December 31, 2029. If you have any
questions, please feel free to contact me or my office.
Mahalo,
