Ed Case throws support behind Colleen Hanabusa
"In this contest of values there's room for only one standard bearer for our party," said Ed Case. "So today I withdraw my candidacy in favor of Colleen (Hanabusa)."
Hanabusa’s the One.
"Colleen Hanabusa is brilliant and diligent. We can count on her to work smart and hard for Hawaii."
Broad Support
I am pleased to have the support of our state's longtime Senators Daniel Inouye and Daniel Akaka, EMILY's List and the League of Conservation Voters and labor organizations. And to have been listed on the DCCC's Red to Blue List.

“I believe Colleen is the best candidate given her track record of leadership in the Hawaii State Senate. Since her first election in 1998 she has risen in the ranks serving in influential leadership and committee positions culminating in her current role as the first woman president of the Senate. She is committed to improving the lives of the people of Hawai`i through her work as a lawyer and a lawmaker.”

“Colleen Hanabusa is the smartest, most disciplined, strongest and “most Hawai`i” candidate. Period.”

It is with great enthusiasm that I throw my support behind your candidacy to be the next U.S. Representative from Hawaii’s First Congressional District. I admire the work that you’ve done to uncover fraud and waste in special education funding and the courageous actions you took to combat the crystal methamphetamine problem in Hawaii with prevention, treatment and enhanced sentencing. I note with admiration that as President of the State Senate, you are the first woman to lead either house of the Hawaii Legislature. Congress needs a leader like you to assist us in carrying out President Obama’s agenda of change and I am excited at the possibility of serving along side you and welcoming you to the Congressional Progressive Caucus. The people of Hawaii will be well-served with you representing them in the U.S. House of Representatives.

A passionate, progressive leader, Hanabusa has fought to protect the rights of workers to organize, secure vital education funding, and require insurance companies to cover birth control.

I admire Colleen Hanabusa:
She thinks things out wisely,
Makes courageous decisions,
Offers broader perspectives from
Deep island roots and
Sandy Waianae feet.
Life’s made her
‘One Tough Tita’—
...And real smart.
Best of all, she proves:
‘Hanabusa Works.’
