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. Special election results These are the final results of the special election to fill the remainder of the late U.S. Rep. Patsy Mink's Term. Ed Case (D) John F. Mink (D)- John S.
