In this morning’s live half-hour program, he addressed a range of issues including recent high-ranking administration officials’ security breaches, ongoing federal government disruption, Congress’ failure to fulfill its duties of oversight and checks and balances, and his focus on practical problem solving

(Washington, DC) -- U.S. Representative Ed Case (Hawai‘i-First District) this morning appeared on C-SPAN’s nationally-televised program, Washington Journal.

The live half-hour show features a single member of Congress addressing questions from the host, followed by direct questions from the viewing audience across the country alternating among Republicans, Democrats and independents. 

 Case covered a range of topics, including:

·        “Clearly classified information” that should not have been disclosed in a group chat among the highest-ranking administration officials leading up to, during and after the recent bombing mission in Yemen;

·        The budget and tax measure under consideration in Congress as “not reflecting the values” of most Americans; and,

·        “The biggest missing piece” in government today, being a Congress that is not providing effective oversight and a check and balance on Presidential actions.

 Case also addressed viewer questions including:

·        Protecting Medicare and Social Security;

·        Widespread public disapproval of Congress and both political parties;

·        His bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus’ focus on finding solutions to everyday American concerns;

·        The urgent need to address our federal deficit and debt crisis;

·        The “Department of Government Efficiency’s” efforts to destroy rather than improve large and critical parts of the federal government; and,

·        His continuing efforts to protect our oceans including our coral reefs.

 The entirety of the show can be viewed here.
