"The elections are over, but the challenges and work remain. Here’s my next Congressman Ed Case Reports districtwide enewsletter, “Closing Out The 119th Congress; Districtwide Survey Results; Your Thoughts”, for what’s on my agenda for the remaining two months of the current 119th Congress and as we approach the 120th Congress convening January. https://t.co/CtciKWdbC8"

"If you’re eligible to vote and haven’t already voted, please vote today. Ballots must be received by 7pm. Don’t mail your ballot; it won’t be received by then. Drop your ballot in one of 17 ballot drop boxes around O’ahu by 7pm. Vote in person at one of Oahu’s four Voter Services Centers. Two (Honolulu Hale and Kapolei Hale) are open 7am to 7pm. Two (Wahiawa District Park and Kaneohe District Park) are open 9am to 5pm. If you’re eligible to vote but not registered, you can register to vote and vote same day at a Voter Service Center. Try not to wait until closing time to vote in person at a Voter Service Center; lines may be long. Questions (including ballot drop box locations, the easiest at this point): https://t.co/mwKez7Zrth. It matters."

"I was honored to join the retirement ceremony aboard the USS Missouri of Lieutenant Colonel Kaiali’i Kahele from a distinguished twenty-five year career with the Hawai’i Air National Guard and United States Air Force Reserve, culminating as Senior Director, Air Mobility Division, 613th Air Operations Center, Pacific Air Forces. I presented LTC Kahele with a Certificate of Special Congressional Recognition which stated: “Our state and nation are safer and better prepared because of your commitment, clarity of purpose and unrelenting focus on the mission.” A deep mahalo for your service."

"An always-inspiring and educational day when I personally interview the best of our high school seniors seeking my annual nomination to our military service academies. Last week was no exception as I worked my way through 28 applicants and again concluded that our Hawai’i will continue to do us proud in our armed services."

"When Congress comes back into session November 9thfor the remaining two months of the current 119th Congress, one of my top priorities will be to advance H.R. 10828, the Prohibit Corrupt Russia Oil Deals Act, bipartisan legislation I cosponsored to block the President’s unacceptable deal with Putin to purchase and import Russian diesel and undermine our sanctions against Russia for its continued war on Ukraine.

"Individuals with disabilities should be able to access health insurance and services that do not force them out of their homes. The Latonya Reeves Freedom Act would ensure that states and long-term service and support insurance providers allow individuals with disabilities to live in the most integrated settings including their homes. https://t.co/fn6M16So7S"

"One big consequence of our increasing natural disasters is the cost and availability of property insurance, and we have to pursue different paths to keep it available and affordable. I co-introduced the Community Disaster Protection Act to promote the development of new disaster insurance products to help high-risk communities secure affordable coverage, incentivize more effective disaster prevention; and provide greater stability to property insurance markets. It would direct the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)  to establish a 5-year pilot program to award competitive grants to local governments, quasi-government bodies, and community-based organizations to design, develop, implement or facilitate community-based catastrophe insurance. More: H.R.10686 - 119th Congress (2025-2026): Community Disaster Protection Act | https://t.co/iTTU9JUyXu | Library of Congress"
