Kymberly Marcos Pine (born September 8, 1970) is an American politician and Democrat who served two terms on the Honolulu City Council representing District 1 from 2013 to 2021.

[citation needed] Her grandfather served in the United States Coast Guard as a chef during the Attack on Pearl Harbor.

[3][4] Selected as Oʻahu Interscholastic Association West All-Star MVP player, she also ran cross-country and track, placing second in the OIA in various competitions.

[5] One of Pine's 2012 priorities for the legislative session was to keep the community informed regarding the closure of the Hawaii Medical Center West facility in Ewa Beach in December 2011.

The project creates community awareness through events and opportunities for Leeward residents to learn about healthy lifestyle choices in order to reduce the high rate of health risks impacting the district.

[13] The Leeward Oʻahu district of Ewa Beach, Kapolei, Honokai Hale, Ko Olina, Nanakuli, Maʻili, Waiʻanea, Makaha, Keaau and Makua, previously experienced millions of dollars[14] in neglected infrastructure improvements.

Pine promoted several pieces of legislation to protect the environment, including a 2017 bill banning the use of Styrofoam food containers.

[20] In 2019, Pine joined the Honolulu City Council to pass Bill 40,[21] which became Ordinance 19-30,[22] thought at the time to be the most comprehensive phase-out of plastics in the nation.

In 2019, Pine introduced Bill 34 to require the visitor industry to provide annual reports on the progress of sustainability efforts to the city.

Bill 3 (2020)[28] introduced a Keep Hawaiʻi Hawaiʻi Pass to allow tourists and locals to purchase a pass to several city attractions and Bill 68 (2019)[29] would create a fund for the proceeds to supplement impacts to City emergency services, infrastructure, parks and beaches from tourism.

New regulations require parking spaces based on the size of the home, minimum yard setbacks and limits to the number of wet bars and bathrooms.

Pine entered the 2020 mayoral race calling for sweeping changes to end corruption in government in the wake of the Katherine (former Honolulu City deputy prosecutor) and Louis Kealoha (former Honolulu police chief) scandal,[38] the Federal investigation of HART,[39] and the Save Sherwood Forest protests in Waimanalo.

"[40] She has publicly challenged the policies of Mayor Kirk Caldwell and the project delays and mismanagement of the city's Honolulu Rail Transit (HART).

[44][additional citation(s) needed] Pine opposed the construction of a 17-acre, $32 million sports complex in Waimanalo at Sherwood Forest.

Hundreds of Native Hawaiians opposed the complex and 28 were arrested for blocking access to Waimanalo Bay Beach Park.

Pine publicly opposed construction of thirteen 260-foot wind turbines in the Palehua Agricultural lands by EE Ewa LLC's (Eurus Energy), in a power purchase by Hawaiian Electric.

[48] Pine brought millions of dollars to the Leeward Coast to improve infrastructure, enhance security and clean up public parks for her constituents.

Pine's Resolution 19-333[49] would enable the city to increase the number of park rangers and expand the program island-wide in order to promote public safety and environmental protection.

In addition, in 2015, she introduced Bill 78, CD1, FD1 to acknowledge sponsorship of city assets with name recognition to enhance public-private partnership possibilities.

[52] In 2016, Pine called for a performance audit to examine how the Prosecutor's office and the Honolulu Police Department handle domestic violence, enforce temporary restraining orders and process cases through the courts.

In 2020, Pine authored Bill 10,[54] to ensure gender-equity and fair allocation of permits for the use of park facilities for sports after female surfers complained that they had not been able to obtain a permit for North Shore, Oahu female surf contests during pristine surf seasons for ten years.

[55] In 2016, Pine and a fellow councilmember introduced Bill 24[56] to strengthen the enforcement of restrictions on illegal dumping of bulky items.

The new law allowed inspectors to fine the individual perpetrators who illegally dump bulky items, not just the nearby residents and managers.
