He was first elected to the State House in 2006, and at the time was the youngest member serving in the Legislature.

He currently serves on the Senate State Affairs and Resources Committees.
Prior to state office, he ran for the Fairbanks City Council and was the youngest candidate ever elected and went on to serve for six years. Senator Kawasaki earned a BS in biomedicine at the University of Alaska Fairbanks. In college, he chartered the first national collegiate fraternity in Alaska, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and was involved in leadership and internship programs statewide.
