A pair of House Democrats from Hawaii have secured re-election in the Aloha State's 1st and 2nd Congressional Districts. The races were called for Rep. Ed Case, D-Hawaii, at 5:16 a.m. ET and for Rep. Jill Tokuda, D-Hawaii, at 5:14 a.m. on Wednesday.

Rep. Ed Case, who represents urban Honolulu, has been re-elected to a fourth term. He initially won the seat in 2018 and had previously served in Congress from 2002 to 2007, representing Hawaii's 2nd Congressional District, which includes rural Oahu and neighboring islands. Case currently serves on the House Appropriations Committee.

Rep. Jill Tokuda, re-elected to a second term, is a member of the agriculture and armed services committees. Prior to her election to Congress in 2022, she spent 12 years in the Hawaii Senate. Tokuda also has a background as a small business owner and previously held the position of external affairs director for the Nisei Veterans Memorial Center on Maui.

Both incumbents were considered to have safe seats for Democrats in these districts.
