Ed Case sent an email to supporters late Friday (Nov. 2) stating “this has been the most negative election in memory. Most of us are just plain disgusted.”

Case urged folks to “take matters into our own hands” and reject the “dark money super PAC Pacific Resource Partnership” and its negative campaigning in the Honolulu mayoral race.

More excerpts from Case’s email:

Its false, secretly funded, $3 million-plus character attack on candidate Ben Cayetano gambles that more voters will be fooled or just turn away from voting than will vote against that extreme negativity.

Are you going to let PRP get away with that? I support Cayetano because he’ll be an independent leader who’ll tell the truth …

Make absolutely no mistake: if PRP succeeds in Hawaii’s most negative campaign (so far), that campaign will become the new norm for Hawai’i politics and we can kiss the campaigns and candidates we want and deserve goodbye.
