Ed Case

House Republicans face a challenging summer campaign addressing voter concerns about high gas prices, affordability, and the Iran war. They have passed key bills but face Senate hurdles, while Democrats highlight Republican struggles with messaging and internal primary challenges.

The race for the 1st Congressional District features incumbent Ed Case highlighting his congressional work and Jarrett Keohokalole attempting to create buzz for an upset. Their contrasting campaign approaches define the election.

The House may vote soon on the Stop Insider Trading Act, a proposal to restrict lawmaker stock-trading that passed the House Administration Committee on a party-line vote. While some Democrats support the bill, most argue it does not require divesting existing stocks, unlike a competing proposal. The Senate is unlikely to take up the legislation even if the House passes it.

Ed Case, a candidate for US House District 1, emphasizes confronting climate change deniers by advocating scientific realities and practical solutions.

U.S. Rep. Ed Case is running for a fifth consecutive term and faces his most challenging primary race since returning to Congress in 2018. He is competing against Keohokalole for the congressional nomination.
