Description | Some have suggested the race to represent the 1st District is a "national" contest, a referendum on President Obama's policies, a vessel for sending a message about the direction of the country.
We see this race in much more parochial terms, that it is simply about selecting a capable and thoughtful person to represent the district and to be a responsive, responsible advocate for Hawai'i.
All three leading candidates are accomplished and intelligent, and they have run mostly campaigns that have focused on the issues and on their positions.
Of the three, we believe Democrat Ed Case is the best person for the job.
In four years representing the Second District, Case demonstrated a commitment to the work that was nothing short of heroic. Representing a district 5,000 miles from the capital requires stamina and focus, and unlike many members of Congress whose trips to Hawai'i become less frequent after a few years in office, Case returned regularly and held 172 community meetings, an average of four a month. |
