Congressman Ed Case is facing a challenge from his left in the form of Sergio Alcubilla, in a one on one race that's become part of a bigger debate

HONOLULU (KITV4) -- The race for Hawaii's 1st Congressional District is heating up, and it's also become a part of a greater ideological battle over the future of the Democratic Party.

Sergio Alcubilla, who came to the U.S. from the Philippines as a child and later became a lawyer for the Legal Aid Society of Hawaii, decided to challenge U.S. Rep. Ed Case (D-Hawaii) for the 1st District seat after Case expressed opposition to part of the Build Back Better bill supported by the Biden administration.
