The dollars rolling into the two Democratic candidates for governor are big.

Former Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann brought in $822,305 in the first six months of this year, versus $711,655 for his rival, former Congressman Neil Abercrombie, according to the latest campaign finance reports filed last week.

But a closer look at their contributors by Civil Beat shows that the candidates’ supporters are as different as the candidates themselves.

Hannemann’s donors include a lot of bankers, architects, engineers, developers and construction companies.

Abercrombie’s donors include a lot of professors, attorneys, small-business owners, retired people and national political action committees.

Both candidates have the support of key labor unions.

And both candidates have solid support from people they have worked with in the recent past — in Abercrombie’s case, a lot of his former colleagues in Congress; in Hannemann’s case (read “Giving It Up For the Boss.”), more than three dozen people who worked in his mayoral administration.

With just six weeks go before the Sept. 18 primary, Civil Beat takes a close look at where Mufi and Neil get their dough.

Campaign donations to James “Duke” Aiona are not included in this analysis. We’ll save that task until after the primary (assuming the Republican front-runner prevails in his party’s primary).

Let’s break down the donors list into digestible chunks, starting with labor unions, whose support is so coveted by Democrats.

Abercrombie’s union donors include the University of Hawaii Professional Assembly PCC and Local Union 1186 IBEW PAC Fund, which both kicked in $6,000. Others on the list: Hawaii Electricians Market Enhancement ($6,000), IBEW Local Union 1357 PAC ($5,500), Seafarers Political Activity Donation ($4,000) and IBEW Local Union 1357 PAC ($3,000).

Hannemann’s organized labor support includes the ILWU Local 142 Hawaii PAC, United Public Workers PAC, Hawaii Fire Fighters Association PAC and Painters Local Union 1791 PAC, each donating $6,000.

Speaking of political action committees, Hannemann has only a handful with national roots.

They include two construction industry PACs: Kansas City-based HNTB Holdings Ltd. Political Action Committee ($3,000), and Omaha-based HDR, Inc. PAC ($1,000). They also include Anheuser-Busch ($2,000) and Philip Morris USA, Inc. ($6,000).

By contrast, Abercrombie is rolling in PAC money.

At least $10,000 comes from former colleagues like U.S. Reps. Dennis Kucinich and Jim Clyburn, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Industry PACs that catch the eye include the Native Hawaiian PAC ($6,000), the Hawaii Auto Dealer Elect Action Committee ($3,500) and Employees of Northrop Grumman ($2,000).

Abercrombie also received $1,000 from General Electric, and $6,000 from Florida-based Five Star Air Charter LLC.

The Business of Business

Local PAC money for Hannemann includes the following: Central Pacific Bank PAC-State ($4,000), Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. HIPAC ($6,000), Bank of Hawaii SPEC ($4,200), Young Brothers ($1,000), Maui Land & Pineapple Co. State PAC ($2,100), Ledcor Construction Hawaii, LLC ( $2,000) and Oceanic Time Warner Cable PAC ($1,500). Power players all.

Abercrombie’s is nothing to sneeze at, either: Bank of Hawaii’s SPEC-State PAC ($1,500) — yes, BOH gave to Hannemann too; happens a lot — HMSA Employee PAC ($3,000), Aloha Air Cargo ($2,500), First Wind Energy LLC ($2,000), Hawaiian Airlines Inc. Committee ($600), Hawaii Venture Capital Association ($1,500) and Tesoro Hawaii Noncandidate Committee ($1,000).
