Former Rep. Ed Case (D-Hawaii) is not wasting any time in his special election bid for retiring Rep. Neil Abercrombie‘s (D-Hawaii) seat. The Democrat announced he is already up with a television advertisement in the special election for Abercrombie’s seat.

Case was also the first to announce that he was running in the special election, for which a date has yet to be determined. State Senate President Colleen Hanabusa (D) is also running as a Democrat in the winner-take-all special contest, along with Honolulu City Councilman Charles Djou (R).

CQ Politics current rates this special election as Leans Democrat.
