House Economic Development & Technology Committee Chair

With a strong background in public service, Vice Speaker Greggor Ilagan has dedicated his career to serving the people of Hawaii. His journey began with a six-year enlistment in the Air National Guard, which laid the foundation for his commitment to public service. In 2012 and 2014, the people of Hawaii County's 4th District elected him as their Councilmember. During his tenure, he actively chaired the Planning and Housing committees and contributed as a member of the Finance and Public Works committees.

In 2020 and again in 2022, the people of Hawaii State House District 4 chose Vice Speaker Ilagan to represent them in the House of Representatives. His leadership roles have included serving as Vice Chair for the Committee on Transportation and as a Committee Member on Housing and Finance. Recognizing his dedication and service, he was appointed Vice Speaker of the Hawaii State House of Representatives in 2022.

House District 4, Vice Speaker Ilagan represents, is a vibrant and diverse part of Hawaii. It includes the communities of Hawaiian Paradise Park, Makuu Hawaiian Home Land, Hawaiian Beaches, and Nanawale Estates, and extends to the historic town of Pahoa. The District also encompasses Leilani Estates, Kapoho, Opihikao, and Kalapana, areas shaped by volcanic activity. These special places embody Puna Makai, reflecting the District's unique character and the diverse community Vice Speaker Ilagan proudly represents.
