Case will host seven talk stories on Hawai‘i Island July 22-23, and August 5
 

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Ed Case (2nd District, Hawai‘i) will resume his long-running series of Talk Stories on Hawai‘i Island this weekend in Kapa‘au, Honoka‘a and Captain Cook and move on to Pahala, Volcano, Pahoa, and Hilo in two weeks.

“Our nation and world are facing tough issues, and my past 42 talk stories on Hawai‘i Island have certainly helped to shape my legislative agenda in Congress by providing me with the direct feedback from people across the state,” said Case. “These issues have included international affairs, ranging from Iraq to North Korea, and pressing national concerns such as the federal budget, Social Security, Medicare, education and the environment.

“My past 161 Talk Stories statewide dating back to early 2003 have reached out directly to thousands in my Second Congressional District, from our Hawai‘i troops stationed in Iraq to our most remote rural communities from Na‘alehu to Hawi. They have been invaluable to my efforts to provide the best possible representation in our federal government. And they have been extremely well received by those I represent since they bring our federal government to the doorstep of Hawai‘i's communities.
