Gov. Green Drops Attorney General Anne Lopez

Nov 04, 2026

Hawaii's governor is replacing his attorney general as he puts together his second term, a notable but routine political shake-up rather than a scandal.

  • Gov. Green will not bring back Anne Lopez as Attorney General for his second term.
  • Lopez has led the AG's office since December 2022 and previously worked as a hospital system executive and as a special assistant to a past attorney general.
  • The governor's office thanked her for her service and said new cabinet picks will be announced later.
  • Lopez reportedly expected the move was possible but had hoped to stay on.

Outlook: Expect Green to name a new Attorney General soon as he finalizes his second-term cabinet.
