Despite all that we face, we can chart a better path forward starting today, and I will do my utmost in representing all of my constituents in making that happen.\n\n\u201cIn all this, I\u2019m deeply honored and pleased that Congressman Kaiali\u02bbi Kahele has now officially joined me in representing the home we love in the U.S. House of Representatives.\n\n\u201cCongressman Kahele is as well prepared as any incoming member of Hawaii\u2019s congressional delegation in our history to discharge the responsibilities we have undertaken, and I expect the very best of him for our country and Hawai\u2019i.\u201d\n\n\"I want to thank Congressman Ed Case for his mentorship in helping me prepare for the Opening Day of the 117th Congress,\u201d said Congressman Kaiali\u02bbi Kahele (HI-02).\n\n\u201cHis guidance and support over these last few months have been invaluable. He and his staff worked closely with me and my staff leading up to this important day. I look forward to working with him to help move Hawai\u02bbi forward in the years ahead.\u201d\n\nAttachments:\n\n\u00b7 Congressman Case on the floor of the U.S. House just after taking the official oath\n\n\u00b7 Congressman Case and Congressman Kahele \u201cshaka sign\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:19:43Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://case.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=404"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0886548552662134, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
