(Washington, DC) – U.S. Representative Ed Case (HI-01) provides below and at https://case.house.gov/ detailed information on key portions of his legislative record over the last eight years since he returned to Congress in 2019. “My mission is to help lead our country, help our Hawai‘i and help my constituents,” said Case, who also previously served in Congress from 2002 to 2007. “My legislative record is the sum total of my efforts and accomplishments to fulfill that mission. It includes my votes in Congress (6,032 to date), legislation, work in my House Appropriations Committee and other committees and caucuses, speeches, joint letters and statements and more. I believe in making it readily available to let constituents know what I’m doing and why, to answer questions and to correct misunderstandings. “My first and main effort is to provide a simple, central, transparent resource on my record and other efforts through my official website at https://case.house.gov/. That has information on me, my positions and activities, legislation and votes, public statements and communications, key issue summaries, and how to contact me. “In addition, I’m providing the following summaries of my record in several areas of interest to me and my constituents: 1. Cost of Living link 2. Crime link 3. Defense link 4. Education link 5. Energy link 6. Federal Deficit/Debt/Finances link 7. Foreign Affairs link 8. Health Care link 9. Kūpuna link 10. Labor link 11. LGBTQ+ link 12. Maui Wildfires link 13. Native Hawaiians link 14. Natural Resources link 15. Oceans link 16. Small Business link 17. Trump Opposition link 18. Veterans link 19. Voting Rights link 20. Women link “My Appropriations Committee is responsible for all federal discretionary funding, currently at about $1.7 trillion total per year,” said Case. “I’m serving my eighth year on Appropriations overall, and fourth year on our Subcommittee on Defense and Subcommittee on Homeland Security, which together make up almost 60% of our total federal budget. This is a national leadership position that also results in billions of federal funding to Hawai‘i every year. For these reasons, I focus on my Appropriations work and my legislative record reflects my efforts and accomplishments in the oversight and funding of all our federal government. “Each year in Appropriations, we pass twelve separate measures, each of which covers parts of our federal government and all of which make up our total federal budget for the upcoming fiscal year. We just completed our last measure, Defense, and now move on to full House passage of the measures, and Senate and conference consideration before final passage. “Here are my news releases on my efforts and accomplishments in Appropriations so far this year as we work to fund Fiscal Year 2027, which starts October 1st of this year: · Military Construction and Veterans Affairs link · Financial Services and General Government link · National Security, State Department and Related Programs link · Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration and Related Agencies link · Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies link · Legislative Branch and Energy and Water link · Transportation/Housing/Urban Development and Interior Department link · Labor, Health and Human Services and Education link · Homeland Security Department link · Defense Department link “I was also just ranked #4 of 214 House Democrats in securing direct Congressional funding for worthy community projects in my district (known as Community Project Funding, or CPFs) in our FY27 measures,” said Case. “I secured all 20 of my CPF requests for a total of $18,936,300. “Overall, for the five years Congress has authorized CPFs, I’ve gained approval of 74 district projects for $326 million. More here. “Finally, I want to highlight as well the third part of my mission, which is to help my individual constituents with their own questions and concerns,” said Case. “Since 2019 my great staff and I have assisted over 10,000 constituents with concerns with Social Security, Medicare, veterans benefits, immigration and many other matters. “Again, please see my website at https://case.house.gov/ for more information on my legislative record and other activities.
