Election: Case
wins an interim
Washington job
Continued Al
U.S. House along with Patsy
Mink's Capitol staff..
Results were tallied yester-
day from Saturday's special_
election to fill the remaining
five weeks of the late U.S. Rep.
Patsy's Mink's current term.
Mink died Sept._28 of viral
pneumonia following a bout
with chickenpox.'
John Mink. the Congress-
woman's widower, came in
second with 16,624 votes, or 36
percent. Case said he reached
out to Mink yesterday. Former
..•ate lac.;; akcr..d Republican
gubernatorial candidate John
Carroll was next with,.1,933
votes:
�e a
t6ii.7r :
THE REMAINING 35 candi-
dates each garnered 2 percent
or less of the vote: About 13.3
percent of the 347,922 regis-
tered voters in the district
turned out to vote. The 2nd
Congressional District seat
represents rural Oahu and the
neighbor islands.
Case is not scheduled to be .
formally sworn in unless
Congress, which is not in ses-
sion, is called back.
Case said, however, that he
. will have all the responsibili-
ties and duties of the office ex-
cept for voting..
GEORGE F. LEE / GLEE @STARBULLETIN. COM
US. House candidate Ed Case, second from left, and wife Au-
drey listened yesterday as his father, Jim Case, rendered a
blessing at the Case campaign headquarters as they awaited re-
sults of the special election to fill the seat of Patsy Mink.
U.S. Rep. Neil Abercrombie,
who represents urban Hono-
lulu in the 1st Congressional
District, stopped by Case'¢
campaign headquarters to con -
gratulate him. Abercrombie
also said that it is important
for the district to have repre-
sentation for the next few
weeks.
"What happens is not neces-
sarily voting on big issues, but
taking care of the everyday
problems of everyday people
who are utterly and totally de-
pendent on your intervention
as their representation," Aber-
crombie said.
"The veterans who have
their benefits and aren't sure
what they have or whether
they're eligible, the people who
are having Medicaid problems,
those who wonder whether
their Social Security questions
are going to be answered —
you can't tell them to come
back in 30 or 60 or 90 days."
CASE SPENT EIGHT YEARS in
the state House before decid-
ing to run for governor. He'lost
the Democratic nomination by
2,600 votes to Lt. Gov. Mazie
Hirono, but he sees his guber-
natorial campaign as one of the
key ingredients to his congres-
sional victory.
"It just all fit together.
There's no question that had
we not been through a long
and very intense governor's
race, we wouldn't have been
here today."
Case, wearing an aloha shirt
and leis of orange and red,
choked up with emotion when
talking about his political men-
tor, the late Spark Matsunaga,
who served in both the U.S.
House and Senate. Case
worked for Matsunaga.
"There's ri4;doubt in my
mind that had Spark not given
me that job and not been the
kind of boss that he was, I
would not be a member of
Congress from Hawaii."
Case now faces Matsunaga's
son, former lieutenant gover-
nor candidate and former state
Sen. Matt Matsunaga, in the
second special election. Other
major candidates include
Democratic state Sen. Colleen
Hanabusa and Republicans
state Reps. Barbara Marumoto
and Chris Halford, former state
Reps. Bob McDermott and Jim
Rath, and former Mayor Frank
Fasi. A total of 44 candidates
have filed to run.
Case and others say they be-
lieve the additional high - profile
names will lead to more inter-
est in the race and a higher
voter turnout.
But Case has the advantage
of being the incumbent in the
race; and he also has said that
if he is elected in January, he
will have the advantage of se-
niority over those elected to
the next term.
Case said he plans to keep
his family based in Hawaii
when he goes to Washington
this month.
