Edward Espenett Case (born September 27, 1952) is an American lawyer and politician. A member of theDemocratic Party, he has served as theU.S. representative forHawaii's 1st congressional district since 2019, which covers the urban core ofHonolulu. He represented the2nd district, which covers the rest of the state, from 2002 to 2007.
Case first came to prominence in Hawaii as majority leader of theHawaii State Legislature and in his 2002 campaign forgovernor of Hawaii as aBlue Dog Democrat. He was elected to the House of Representatives in 2002 in a special election to fill the seat ofPatsy Mink, who died ofpneumonia, Case representedHawaii's 2nd congressional district until2006, when he unsuccessfully challengedDaniel Akaka in the Democratic primary for theU.S. Senate.
In 2010, Case was one of two Democratic candidates in thespecial election for Hawaii's 1st congressional district. With the Democratic vote split, Republican CouncilmanCharles Djou's 39% of the vote earned him the seat. Case ran again in the Democratic primary for the November general election, but suspended his campaign in May.[1]Colleen Hanabusa, Case's fellow Democrat in the special election, won the primary and the general election against Djou. Case again ran for the Senatein 2012 after Akaka announced his retirement, but lost toMazie Hirono.[2]
In July 2013, Case announced that he was joining Outrigger Enterprises Group and that his political career was "likely" over.[3] However, in June 2018, Case announced he would run again inHawaii's 1st congressional district.[4] He won the crowded Democratic primary election in August[5] and the general election.[6] He took office in January 2019.[7]
Case was born inHilo, the eldest of six children. In 1970, he graduated fromHawaii Preparatory Academy inKamuela. After high school, Case traveled for a year inAustralia, where he worked as ajackaroo on aNew South Wales sheep station, and inNew Zealand. He then attendedWilliams College inWilliamstown, Massachusetts, where he obtained his bachelor's degree in psychology in 1975.
In 1981, Case graduated from theUniversity of CaliforniaHastings College of Law inSan Francisco with aJuris Doctor.
From 1981 to 1982, Case served as law clerk toHawaii Supreme Court Chief JusticeWilliam S. Richardson. From 1983 to 2002, he worked at the law firm Carlsmith Ball inHonolulu, where he became a partner in 1989, and served as managing partner from 1992 to 1994, when he was first elected to theHawaii House of Representatives. Case resigned his partnership upon winning election to theUnited States Congress in 2002. In 2007 he said he would work for the Honolulu-based law firm of Bays Deaver Lung Rose & Baba.[8]
Case got his first taste of political life as a legislative assistant to Congressman and then SenatorSpark Matsunaga from 1975 to 1978. In 1985, he won his first election, to the Mānoa Neighborhood Board of Honolulu. He became its chairman in 1987, a position he held until leaving the board in 1989.
In 1994, Case ran for Hawaii's 23rd House district. He won the Democratic primary with 51% of the vote in a five-candidate field.[9] In the general election, he defeated Green party nominee Toni Worst 59%–41%.[10] In 1996, he was reelected with 67% of the vote.[11] In 1998, he was reelected to a third term with 70% of the vote.[12] In 2000, he was reelected to a fourth term unopposed.[13]
Case served four two-year terms in theHawaii House of Representatives from 1994 to 2002, where he focused on basic change in Hawaii governance. In 1999, after he led an effort to replace the State House leadership, his Democratic peers elected him Majority Leader.
A conservative Democrat by Hawaii standards, Case sought to change the way state government operated and repeatedly warned that Hawaii was not addressing long-term fiscal challenges. On the last legislative day of 2000, he said in a floor speech: "If you cannot make those choices, please get out of the way, because you are just making it harder for the rest of us."[14]
On January 21, 1997, in the House Judiciary Committee, Case cast the lone vote against advancing HB117, which would allow a referendum to effectively constitutionally ban gay marriage.[15] He and six others opposed the bill again in the full House vote.[16] When he was up for reelection in November 1998, he publicly opposed the referendum because, he said, "changing the Constitution would go against its intended purpose—protecting the rights of the minority against the will of the majority."[15] Leading up to the November election, polls consistently predicted that the measure would pass by 70–75%, a prediction that was accurate.[17] Due to the measure's popularity, only three other politicians or candidates in Hawaii joined his position.[18]
In 2001, Case co-sponsored an unsuccessful civil unions bill.[19]
Case was a part of the House Judiciary Committee.
U.S. RepresentativePatsy Mink died on September 28, 2002, one week after the primary election, leaving her 107th Congress (2001–2003) seat vacant. She was posthumously reelected to the108th Congress (2003–2005) in November. On November 30, 2002, Case was elected in a special election to serve the remaining two months of Mink's term, gaining over 50% of the vote in a field of over 40, even though he did not live in the district. Members of the House are only constitutionally required to live in the state they represent, though convention calls for them to live in the district they represent. During the special election campaign, Case pointed out that he grew up on the Big Island.
Case ran in a second special election on January 4, 2003, for Mink's 108th Congress seat, facing more than three dozen other candidates. Other Democrats included Matt Matsunaga andColleen Hanabusa. Republicans includedBarbara Marumoto,Bob McDermott, andFrank Fasi. Case won with 43% of the vote.
In 2004, Case defeated Republican challengerMike Gabbard, a social conservative who focused almost exclusively on gay marriage issues. He won his first full term with 63% of the vote.[20]
In June 2018, Case ran in the crowded Democratic primary, set for August 11.[21] He won with 40% of the vote, defeating six other challengers, includingDoug Chin, the incumbent lieutenant governor.[22] In the general election, Case carried Hawaii's 1st congressional district by a 50-point margin, 73.1%—23.1%,[23] defeating RepublicanCampbell Cavasso.
He was reelected in 2020 with 72.02% of the vote, defeating Republican Ron Curtis.[24]
Case sponsored 36 bills between 2003 and 2006. Of those bills, Congress passed H.Con.Res.218 recognizing 100 years of Filipino-American immigration to America, the Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park Addition Act (H.R.546 / Public Law No. 108-142), legislation (H.R. 2030 / Public Law No: 108-5) designating the U.S. Postal Service facility inPaia, Hawaii, as the Patsy Takemoto Mink Post Office Building, and the Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge Expansion Act (H.R. 2619 / Public Law No. 108-481). Two of his other bills were included in subsequent legislation. H.R. 3535, to include country of origin labeling for macadamia nuts, was included in the 2008 Farm Bill. Hirono reintroduced the Kalaupapa Memorial Act (H.R. 4529), which she added to Public Law No. 111-11.
Case entered the House of Representatives too late to cast a vote on the Iraq War Resolution, but supported the Iraq War throughout his tenure in the House. As late as 2006, he opposed a firm timetable for withdrawal.[25]
Case often sided with Republicans on major tax legislation. He was one of only 34 Democrats (who sided with 196 Republicans) to support reducing the estate tax.[26] He also was one of 15 Democrats (who sided with 229 Republicans) to support lower taxes on investment income.[27]
In 2005, Case voted for an amendment byJeb Hensarling that would eliminate funding for PBS, NPR, and Title X family planning, including money forPlanned Parenthood. He was the only Democrat to support the amendment, which failed 102–320.[28][29]
Case also introduced the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands National Marine Refuge Act (H.R. 2376), which would have protected the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands by making them a national marine refuge. In June 2006, PresidentGeorge W. Bush achieved much of the bill's goals by issuing a public proclamation creating thePapahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument under the authority of theAntiquities Act of 1906.
Case co-sponsored 808 bills during the same period. He missed 148 (6%) of 2,435 votes in his tenure.[30]
Case rejoined theBlue Dog Coalition on January 29, 2019.[31]
On July 25, 2019, Case,Don Young,Brad Sherman andTed Yoho founded the Congressional Pacific Islands Caucus in order to increase Congressional attention to theIndo-Pacific region.[32]
On August 27, 2019, Case introducedH.R. 4547, the Safe and Quiet Skies Act. The bill would regulate tour airplane and helicopter flights and, among other things, set decibel limits over residential neighborhoods, prohibit overflights of military facilities, national parks, and residential areas by air tours and require asterile cockpit.[33] The introduction followed two fatal air tour helicopter crashes in Hawaii that killed 14 people.[34]
On December 18, 2019, Case voted toimpeach PresidentDonald Trump.[35]
In August 2021, Case joined a group of conservative Democrats, dubbed "The Unbreakable Nine", who threatened to derail the Biden administration's $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation package meant to tackle the nation's infrastructure.[36]
As of 2022, Case has voted with President Joe Biden's stated position 100% of the time, according toFiveThirtyEight.[37] Case voted to provide Israel with support following theOctober 7 attacks.[38][39]
On July 11, 2024, Case called for Joe Biden to withdraw from the2024 United States presidential election.[40]
On March 6, 2025, Case was one of ten Democrats in Congress who joined all of their Republican colleagues in voting to censure Democratic congressmanAl Green for interrupting PresidentDonald Trump'sState of the Union Address which he said "was to respect the institution".[41][42]
On April 10, 2025, Case was one of only four Democrats who joined all of the Republicans in the House in voting in favor of theSafeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, commonly known as the SAVE Act. The bill places strict requirements to prove American citizenship in order to vote in federal elections.[43]
Case is one of the mostconservative Democrats in Congress and has received most of his financial campaign contributions fromPACs.[44]
For the118th Congress:[45]
Case's caucus memberships include:[46]
In early 2001, at the beginning of his fourth term in the Hawaii State House, Case chose not to continue as Majority Leader. In October 2001, he announced his candidacy forgovernor of Hawaii in 2002. Case's initial opponent was the early favorite in the race,Mayor of HonoluluJeremy Harris, also a Democrat. Case supporters were discontented with the "Democratic Party of Hawaii machine" that had ruled the state for 40 years and was perceived to have left the economy stagnant, a "machine" to which Harris was closely tied.
Despite high polling numbers, Harris abruptly dropped out of the race in May 2002 because of ongoing campaign spending investigations.Lieutenant GovernorMazie Hirono dropped out of her race for mayor of Honolulu to challenge Case in the primary. A later entrant into the Democratic primary wasD. G. "Andy" Anderson, the former Republican state chair and aide to former Honolulu MayorFrank Fasi. Case told Hawaii voters that his campaign was one of government reform and the future, as opposed to Hirono and Anderson, who represented the "Old Boys' Network" and a status quo past.
In one of the closest primary elections for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in Hawaii history, Hirono beat Case, 41% to 40%, with Anderson a distant third with 17%. In the general election, Hirono lost toRepublican nomineeLinda Lingle.
Case challenged SenatorDaniel Akaka in the Democratic primary election. He lost the September primary, 55-45%.
Akaka centered his campaign on the difference in support for the U.S. intervention in Iraq. He was one of only a handful of Democratic senators to vote against the use of force resolution against Iraq in 2002; Case, while not in Congress at the time of the vote, had said he would have voted in support of the resolution.[50]
Despite his loss, Case decided to stay in politics.[8]
On March 29, 2009, Case announced his candidacy forHawaii's 1st congressional district seat, being vacated byNeil Abercrombie.[51] His main opponents were fellow DemocratColleen Hanabusa and RepublicanCharles Djou. Case and Hanabusa represented different wings of the party, Case being a conservativeBlue Dog Democrat, while Hanabusa was preferred by the progressive wing.[52] Hanabusa was endorsed byEMILY's List, the local party establishment, and local labor unions.[52][53] Case was at odds with the party establishment over his primary challenge to Akaka in 2006 when he was still Representative of the 2nd district.
Case and Hanabusa each proposed that the other drop out for the sake of party unity.[54] TheDemocratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) dispatched an aide to the state in the hopes of at least ensuring no other Democrats enter the race.[52] It was unlikely either Democrat would drop out; they represented different views and had already faced off in a 2003 special election for Hawaii's 2nd congressional district, which Case won.[52][55] On May 10, 2010, the DCCC said it would not spend any further resources on the race, preferring to save those resources for theNovember election.[56]
The election was held on May 22, 2010. Djou became the first Republican to win a Hawaii congressional election since 1988. He won with a plurality of 39% of the vote. Hanabusa came in second with 31% and Case came in third with 28% of the vote.[57][58]
Case initially said he would run in the next primary against Hanabusa, but later changed his mind and dropped out of the race, citing party unity and his third-place finish.[1]
On April 10, 2011, Case announced his candidacy forU.S. Senate, to replace retiring U.S. SenatorDaniel Akaka.[59]
In a rematch of the 2002 gubernatorial primary, Hirono once again defeated him, this time by a 17-point margin, 58%–41%.[60]
