For Immediate Release

(Honolulu) Former U.S. Congressman and current U.S. Senate candidate Ed Case (D) today released the following statement on the Hirono and Lingle campaigns’ Fourth Quarter fundraising numbers:

"We are completing our FEC report, which isn't due until January 31st. We can say that we raised substantially less than Mazie and Linda in the last quarter, but are on the schedule we set at the beginning of our campaign to raise what we need.

"Mazie and Linda only released their fundraising totals. Just where is their money coming from? From the mainland and DC PACs and special interests like so far? Or from the folks of Hawai'i where I've been spending my time?

'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. If it's just about another Senator bought and paid for before she's sworn in, we'll never fix our problems.”
