The Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation (HART) announced the appointment of Anthony “Tony” Baldomero as the newest member of its Board of Directors. Baldomero was appointed by the Honolulu City Council by unanimous vote on Thursday, November 5. Baldomero’s term will end June 30, 2031. Board Member Baldomero replaces Anthony Aalto, whose term expired on June 30, 2026.
Mr. Baldomero is a Hawaiʻi campaign finance consultant and public administration veteran with 33 years of direct experience in the state’s political landscape. After spending over three decades with the Hawaiʻi Campaign Spending Commission where he served as Associate Director until his retirement in 2025, he founded Hokupaʻa Strategies LLC, a consulting firm providing guidance on campaign finance compliance and reporting for political candidates and organizations.
“On Behalf of HART, I would like to extend a warm welcome to Anthony Baldomero to the HART Board of Directors. I look forward to working with Mr. Baldomero as we continue advancing construction through the Downtown, and move closer to realizing the vision of Skyline,” said HART Executive Director and CEO Lori Kahikina, P.E. “My sincerest mahalo to Anthony Aalto for his many years of dedicated service to the board. Anthony’s thoughtful input and collaborative oversight were critical to helping HART navigate some of its biggest challenges.”
The volunteer HART Board of Directors, which was established by the Revised Charter of Honolulu on July 1, 2011, is responsible for policy-making and oversight of HART.
