At age 70, Hawaii Senator @maziehirono has become one of the surprising avatars of what is known among liberals as the Resistance. She’s not the loudest voice in the Senate or its most polished speaker. But the first-term Senator, who is running for a second term on this November’s ballot, has become one of the most outspoken critics of Trump’s behavior. “The President is very anti-immigrant. It’s a very xenophobic, nationalistic attitude,” Hirono tells TIME. “Our country is made up of groups of immigrants who came here hoping for a better life. They created America. It’s a sad thing to have so many people not remember that, including Trump. His people came from another country, not to mention that his wife is an immigrant.” These sharp rebukes have turned the soft-­spoken Senator into a sudden star. A savvy legislator, Hirono spent 13 years in the Hawaii statehouse, eight years as the state’s lieutenant governor and six years in the House before winning her Senate race in 2012. Hirono is the first Asian-American woman to serve in the Senate, the first Senator born in Japan and the first Senator from a Buddhist background. At the Capitol, she kept her head down and focused on helping immigrants, veterans and the environment. But Trump has changed her approach to the office. Slowly, Hirono started saying in public what she was telling colleagues in private. Never one to run for the microphones or book TV appearances at all hours, she started saying yes to interview requests. Her elevated profile helped her avoid a once expected primary challenge. Hirono has done all this while battling Stage 4 cancer, diagnosed in May 2017. When asked, "So why not retire?" Hirono replied, “One person can make a difference. My mom changed my life by bringing me to this country.” Plus, she says, the president needs a counterbalance. “The battles that we win,” she says, “never stay won.” Photograph by @luisadorr for TIME
