Rep. Ed Case

On Spotlight Now w/ Yunji De Nies and Ryan Kalei Tsuji, we covered my thoughts and efforts on the cost of living, Trump administration, healthcare, federal funding for Hawai’i, military presence in Hawai’i and leases, tariffs, my Walk Stories, division in our country, getting…

I joined fellow Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus (CAPAC) executive board members incl. colleague and friend Rep. Judy Chu of Cali at our end-of-year briefing on AANHPI issues to the Asian Pacific American Institute for Congressional Studies.

The Trump administration continues its unlawful attempts to cancel federal funding already appropriated under our landmark Inflation Reduction Act for lower cost clean energy. I joined colleagues in demanding that the EPA resume and restore full funding of the Solar for All…

I believe in public TV and radio including our PEG (public, education and government access) stations, and we have one of the best in Honolulu with ‘Olelo Community Media, where I broadcast my monthly Congressman Ed Case Reports to my district. Civic Media Lab is a great…

Here’s my latest Congressman Ed Case Reports districtwide e-newsletter, Post-Shutdown, covering remaining must-pass federal appropriations measures, release of Epstein files, Trump administration update, and my Veterans Talk Story and other recent district work including my Walk…

Indonesia, a vast and diverse country of 280 million people and the world’s third-largest democracy (after India and our country), is part of our Indo-Pacific ‘ohana and our critical partner in mutual defense, trade and other international efforts. I met with H.E. Dwisuryo…

I returned to my House Natural Resources Committee today to advocate for my bill, introduced together with Sen. Schatz on the Senate side, to upgrade the Native American Tourism and Improving Visitor Experience (NATIVE) Act of 2016 to more fully implement its goals of advancing…

In Congress, like life, you can yell and scream and make big, but to actually get stuff done takes something different. Shhh, don’t tell… Here’s a hint: case.house.gov/UploadedFiles/…

The shutdown may be over, but the healthcare crisis facing 40 million Americans is not. This doesn’t have to be a purely partisan issue, and making it one won’t solve anything. I joined 31 of my House Democrat and Republican colleagues in urging the Senate to involve the House in…

Honored to join the Hawai’i Chinese Civic Association’s Mandarin Ball celebrating its 100th anniversary of service to our Hawai’i, and to present Elvira Lo, President, and Dr. Ming Chen, Mandarin Award winner, with Special Certificates of Congressional Recognition. Mahalo!

Silver lining while the House Speaker wasted 54 days not calling the House back into session was having more time to get out and about my district talking story with my constituents. Here’s my next monthly Congressman Ed Case Reports on ‘Olelo Community media with some of my…

Of many disturbing parts of the shutdown, the Speaker (presiding Member) of the House arbitrarily refusing to call the House back into session for 55 full days - no votes, hearings, oversight, meetings, presence in DC - was one of the most concerning. That marginalized and…

After reviewing the details of the actual CR coming up for a vote and thinking it through, I’m voting no. I want to get government reopened, get our federal workers back to work and paid, and get programs like SNAP back underway. But this version cruelly and unnecessarily just…

As we strive to end this shutdown/health care crisis, I joined our Hawai’i Foodbank’s great volunteers at a special food distribution for our veterans, military and federal employees at Keehi Lagoon Memorial Park, with over 550 families coming thru for assistance.

Yesterday I hosted my annual Special Veterans Talk Story community meeting at the O’ahu Veterans Center to report back on my actions in Congress on behalf of our vets, answer questions, listen to concerns and offer my assistance. Here’s a replay. youtu.be/TyefpnacRqc

Big congrats to Honolulu attorney Marvin Dang, who was just awarded the 2025 Daniel K. Inouye Trailblazing Award, the highest recognition by the National Asian Pacific American Bar Association, for pioneering the advancement of Asian American and Pacific Islander attorneys…

Just back from DC, I joined the Chamber of Commerce of Hawai’i Military Affairs Council’s reception to welcome Admiral John Aquilino, USN, Retired, Commander of our U.S. Indo-Pacific Command 2022-24. Really good to have him back in our ‘ohana, especially helping keep our…

Much of my work on the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, responsible for all national defense and intelligence funding, aims at making sure our Hawai’i fully benefits from our major defense presence, including our local businesses and workers. Here’s what it’s all…

Back to DC again to help end this shutdown, but for the 48th day now the Speaker refuses to bring the House back into session to get this done and back to work. What are they so afraid of? That we might actually solve this funding/health care/nutrition assistance crisis and turn…

Before redeyeing back to DC, I took my Honolulu district staff to The Pantry in Kalihi to join so many great volunteers in helping out with their special Monday morning food assistance pickup for fully 550-plus of our shutdown-impacted federal worker families. I talked story with…
