US Representative Ed Case of Hawaii has defeated a progressive Democratic challenger in the Hawaii primary, election results showed late Saturday. Securing 57 percent of the vote against state Senator Jarrett Keohokalole, compared with his 34 percent, Case is set to face Republican nominee Adriel Lam come November. As a senior member of a crucial spending committee, Case had argued that Hawaii would lose federal funding if he were not re-elected. In Hawaii’s other congressional district, US Representative Jill Tokuda easily won her Democratic primary with 84 percent of the vote. Hawaii Governor Josh Green, who has led the state since 2022, also defeated several challengers for the Democratic nomination.
