Gov. Josh Green appointed Matthias Kusch on Friday to fill the House District seat left vacant by the late Representative Mark Nakashima, who also was unopposed in the recent primary election.

Gov. David Ige nominated an active Maui volunteer, a Hawai‘i Island engineer, a Kauaʻi real estate leader, a cultural museum vice president and a climate change small business owner to serve on the seven-person state Board of Land and Natural Resources. All five nominations are subject to Senate confirmation.
