Case Raised ‘Substantially Less’

Former Congressman Ed Case said in a statement that he raised “substantially less” money last quarter than U.S. Senate opponents Linda Lingle and Mazie Hirono. 

The Lingle campaign announced on Wednesday that the former governor raised nearly $1.8 million last quarter. Hirono raised $624,363 in that time. 

Case said he’s still working on his campaign finance paperwork, which is due to the Federal Election Commission at the end of the month. Case also said his campaign is on track and that it raised “what we need.”

“That’s 
the
 whole 
problem
 with 
DC 
today:
 all
 they 
care 
about 
is 
who can 
rake 
in 
the
 most 
money, 
who 
they 
can 
control, and
 not 
who 
can 
get 
the 
job 
done,” Case said. “If 
it’s 
just 
about
 another 
Senator 
bought 
and 
paid 
for 
before she’s 
sworn 
in, 
we’ll 
never 
fix 
our
 problems.”
