Voters deserve to know who specifically is funding political ads rather than secret spending behind deceptive fronts. I joined colleagues Reps Kevin Mullin (California) and Marcy Kaptur (Ohio) in introducing our Sunlight on SuperPACs Act, which would require federal campaign ads supported by SuperPACs (large-scale contributing fronts) to disclose their big donors. kevinmullin.house.gov/2026/0…

It was an honor to welcome three of my partners, the Hons. Hirofumi Nakasone, Seiji Maehara and Akihisa Nagashima of the National Diet of Japan (Japan’s Congress) to Washington D.C. I took them on a personal tour of the Capitol as we discussed the importance of the U.S.-Japan alliance, our shared commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific, and continued support for Japan’s national security. Mahalo to our Japanese colleagues for visiting the Capitol, and for continuing to strengthen the enduring friendship between our nations and, especially, our Hawai’i.

Time again for my annual Congressional App Challenge open to middle and high school students in my district; October 26, 2026 submission deadline. The nationwide App Challenge in most congressional districts challenges our students to create an original app for a smartphone, tablet, or computer device about any topics using any programming language, with winners bringing their apps to Capitol Hill.  More info: case.house.gov/services/cong….

Congress considers the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) every few years to authorize iwater resources: environmental, structural, navigational, flood protection, hydrology and related projects which the United States Army Corps of Engineers builds, so we spend a lot of effort getting needed Hawai’i projects into each WRDA. Great news that the House passed our latest WRDA with a bunch of my requests included, especially upgrading Honolulu Harbor. More: case.house.gov/news/document….

From-back-home DC meetings this week included one common theme; moving people and our stuff around and related federal issues: M. Dyer Global, a local employee-owned moving company, especially focusing on matters regarding moving our military families; and Mike Niethammer and Henry Aquino of the Hawai’i Automobile Dealers Association, moving all of us.

I always look forward to meeting with our Hawai’i veterans reps visiting DC, including this week Jame Schaedel of the Veterans of Foreign Wars/Hawai’i and (to his credit and Hawaii’s benefit) a member of VFW’s National Legislative Committee, here for VFW’s fall legislative conference. We discussed several VFW priorities; more here: urldefense.com/v3/__http://w…$

As our national debt passes through $40 trillion, I joined the House Budget Committee for its field hearing in Dallas, TX on a critical issue: solutions to our federal fiscal/debt crisis. I am a co-introducer of several of the main measures before the Committee that provide a path forward. youtu.be/5MlpmWTFvlc?si=h5NK…
