By Associated Press

HONOLULU (AP) — Republican Charles Djou has raised more than $60,000 in the third quarter of this year in his bid for a U.S. House seat, outpacing Democrat Ed Case in campaign contributions. Djou is a Honolulu councilman. He collected $60,500 between July 1 and Sept. 30. Among the donations were $2,400 each from dentist Lawrence K.W. Tseu and Dr. Bradford S. Burton. A National Republican Party group gave him $2,500. Case represented Hawaii in the House from 2002 through 2006. He raised $41,400 in the third quarter. Among his contributions were $2,300 each from Outrigger Hotels chief David P. Carey III and HSI Electric Inc. chief Robert Dewitz. Democrat Colleen Hanabusa recently announced her campaign and will file a report in January. (Copyright 2009 Associated Press. All rights reserved)
