Republican Linda Lingle faces no serious competition in Saturday’s primary election, yet she’s still raising more money than Democrats Ed Case and Mazie Hirono, who are in a tight race.

Over the past two weeks, she has pulled in more than $61,000 in campaign contributions, many from mainland donors. That’s more than three times the amount Hirono has raised during that same period, which totals $19,500; Case has raised just an additional $3,000.

The new amounts come in so-called 48-hour filings with the Federal Election Commission.

Linda Lingle

Lingle’s pre-primary report shows total contributions of $4.4 million since the election cycle began. She has about $2 million cash on hand.

About $613,000 of Lingle’s donations came from political party committees and PACs. They include the American Congress of the OB-GYN PAC, Automotive Free International Trade PAC and To Protect Our Heritage PAC.

Recent contributors to Lingle include Hawaiian royalty Abigail Kawananakoa ($5,000), developer Duncan MacNaughton ($1,000), Waikiki business executive Leighton Mau ($1,000), Lahaina Realtor Teresa Cartwright ($2,500), S&F Land executive Clarence Stoner ($5,000), TennTex Energy executive Barbara Wong ($3,000), Diamond Resort general manager Kyoko Kimura ($5,000), Makawao housewife Dorothy Haynes ($5,000) and her own campaign manager Bob Lee ($200) and deputy campaign chair Lenny Klompus ($100).

A lot of contributions came from out of state, a lot from retirees and a lot in the amount of $2,500 — like from Carl Simons of Las Vegas and Robert Ahser of Chicago. Other mainland donors are not retired, like Cognex Corp. executive Robert Shillman of California ($2,500), Richie’s Pharmacy general manager Shellee Honeycutt of Texas ($2,500), SDF Capital executive Stuart Feldman of Connecticut ($5,000) and Morgan Stanley banker William Strong of Chicago ($5,000)

($2,400), voter and absentee mail files from Blue Rocket Data of California ($3,325), a legal retainer fee for Starn O’Toole Marcus & Fisher ($3,141), payroll tax to the state ($5,249), web hosting, printing and social media from Hagadone Printing ($41,678); campaign T-shirts and caps from Happy Shirts Hawaii ($$7,462), fundraising consulting from LVH Consulting of Virginia ($12,500), lodging at the St. Regis in Washington, D.C. ($486), lodging at the Westin St. Francis in San Francisco ($1,534), a meal at the Burger Bar in San Francisco ($15), food and beverages at the Hilton Hawaiian Village ($33,000) and salaries for Lenny and Marcia Klompus ($4,198 each) and Bob Lee ($2,614).

Lingle’s 48-hour reports show the candidate picking up $61,500 from July 25 through Aug. 2, including sizable donations from the Republican Leadership Council Federal PAC, Freedom Fund PAC and Fund for a Conservative PAC.

Mazie Hirono

Hirono’s pre-primary report shows her having raised $3.2 million through July 22. She had $1.6 million in cash on hand, a figure that almost certainly has changed since then, given the approaching primary.

About $761,000 of Hirono’s money has come from political party committees and PACs. About $14,100 came from the pro-choice EMILY’s List and $10,000 each came from Lockheed Martin Employees PAC, American Federation of Government Employees and Matson Federal Election Committee.

Recent Hirono contributors include former contractor Ralph S. Inouye ($1,000), tourism executive Lynn McCrory ($500), former health director Bruce Anderson ($250), University of Hawaii executive Michael Unebasami ($1,000), Walter Kirimitsu of Saint Louis Schools ($500), former Hawaii attorney general Wayne Minami ($1,000), former teachers union head Joan Husted ($25), former tourism executive Rex Johnson ($500), fishing executive Michael Goto ($500), former Democratic Party chair Richard Port ($100), architect Chris Hart ($1,000), Castle & Cooke executive Harry Saunders ($1,250), former associate justice Steven Levinson ($500), farmer Charlie Bass ($100), Hawaiian activist Bumpy Kanahele ($100), OHA attorney Bill Meheula ($1,000) and restaurateur Peter Merriman ($500).

Hirono has spent her campaign money on such things as accounting services from Endo & Company ($6,600), consulting from Dixon Davis Media Group in Washington, D.C. ($8,000), mailing services from Rapid Returns in San Francisco ($52,412), media buys from Media Strategies & Research in Denver ($379,000), legal services from Perkins Coie of Seattle ($2,646), headquarters rentals from Ronin Properties ($4,300), polling services from Benenson Strategy Group of New York ($51,000) and salaries for campaign manager Betsy Lin ($3,546) and spokeswoman Carolyn Tanaka ($1,919).

In her 48-hour reports, Hirono reported receiving an additional $19,500. The money came from donors such as Honolulu attorney Bruss Keppeler, U.S. Rep. Susan Davis of San Diego and filmmaker Diane Mosbacher.

Ed Case

In his two-week pre-primary report covering July 1-22, Case reported total contributions of $747,000 since the campaign began. He had about $166,000 in cash on hand.

Only $11,500 of Case’s haul has come from political action committees; everything else comes from individuals.

Recent contributors include Ben Cayetano ($500), PR maven Piia Arma ($200), philanthropist Samuel A. Cooke ($500), Trust for Public Land’s Lea Hong ($50), contractor Ralph S. Inouye ($500), auto executive Joe Nicolai ($200), former state tax director Marie Okamura ($1,000), retailer Ken Okimoto ($500), health care administrator Eugene Eugene Tiwanak ($400) and Central Pacific Bank PAC ($1,000).
