Ed Case

U.S. Rep. Ed Case, 73, a Democrat serving on the House Appropriations Committee, is seeking reelection to the U.S. House representing Hawaii's 1st Congressional District.

Among his stated priorities, Case emphasizes addressing Hawaii's "unacceptably high cost of living" through economic diversification and federal resources. He advocates for Jones Act reform to reduce shipping costs and supports affordable housing initiatives including the recently passed Road to Housing Act.

On Social Security, Case backs strengthening the program through measures like the Social Security 2100 Act. He opposes current administration policies affecting Native Hawaiian programs and supports renewable energy investments and climate action measures consistent with the Paris Climate Accords.
