Ed Case, representing Hawaii’s 1st district in the U.S. Congress since 2019, has recently been sharing insights from his week back home through social media. Born in Hilo in 1952 and currently residing in Kāneʻohe, Case has been a long-standing figure in Hawaii’s political landscape. He regularly takes time to engage directly with his constituents, illustrating a commitment to understanding their concerns firsthand.
On April 21, Case returned to his district, noting his intent to leave Washington, D.C.’s atmosphere and reconnect with constituents through casual encounters. He remarked, “Home for the week and carved out half of each day to get completely out of DC think and my office and just walk my district to talk with my constituents wherever we meet to reground on what they’re thinking. Kicked off at Zippy’s Makiki and walking South King Street.”
The following day, April 22, Case provided an update on his district walk, describing the initial leg of his journey. He stated, “On Day 1 of my district walk/talk story back home this week, I started out at Zippy’s Makiki and covered a chunk of South King Street before hitting Liliha. So good to be out of DC, out of my office, and just regrounding direct with a bunch of different constituents on what’s on.”
On April 23, Case continued his efforts, visiting several neighborhoods as part of his informal survey. Reflecting on the interactions, he commented, “On Day 2 of my district walk/talk story back home this week, I started out at the top of Mililani Mauka and worked down thru Waipio Acres and Mililani to Waipahu. Really good conversations with very different constituents who at the end of the day all care deeply about our.”
Ed Case, a Williams College graduate with a law degree from the University of California, Hastings, replaced Colleen Hanabusa in Congress in 2019. Prior to his current role, he served in the Hawaii House of Representatives from 1994 to 2002.
