Speaker Joseph M. Souki has appointed Rep. Rida Cabanilla (Ocean Pointe, West Loch, Ewa Gentry, Ewa Villages, Ewa Beach) Majority Floor Leader of the Hawaii House of Representatives.

She replaces Rep. Karen Awana who resigned the position last Friday under a cloud of campaign spending problems.

Cabanilla serves as chairwoman of the Committee on Housing and is known for her work to address homelessness.
