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.

Former state Sen. Bob Nakata credits Hanabusa for playing a key role in shepherding through a package of bills designed to battle Hawai’i's crystal methamphetamine problem, first as co-chairwoman of the Joint Senate-House Task Force on Ice and Drug Abatement in 2003-04 and later moving the bill through the Legislature. “She was the one, more than anybody, who put the legislation together,” said Nakata, a social justice advocate. “She talked to a lot of people and put together a very good package. And she moved it through very efficiently.”

“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.”

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.’
