Ed Case Holds Off Left Challenge to Clinch Hawaii House Nomination
TL;DR
Rep. Ed Case, Hawaii’s 73-year-old moderate Democrat, defeated a younger left-wing challenger, Jarrett Keohokalole, in Hawaii’s 1st Congressional District to win the Democratic nomination for the U.S. House. Case emphasizes experience and incumbency in a district that leans heavily Democratic, while Keohokalole campaigned on generational change and reform. The nomination is expected to give Case a strong footing in the general election.
