Representative Ed Case, a moderate Democrat from Hawaii, warded off a progressive challenger in his primary race on Saturday, according to The Associated Press.
The strongest of Mr. Case’s primary opponents was Jarrett Keohokalole, a state senator 30 years his junior.
Mr. Keohokalole criticized Mr. Case’s vote last year for legislation pushed by President Trump that would require documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote.
In response, Mr. Case argued that the state needed his seniority and expertise to reap the most in federal benefits.
