The latest campaign contribution reports show Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann is continuing to outraise his opponents, taking in more than $150,000 over the past 45 days.

Hannemann, who raised more than $640,000 for the first six months of this year, added $167,825 between July 1 and Sept. 5, the reports show.

Hannemann, who is facing nine opponents including City Council member Ann Kobayashi and University of Hawai'i engineering professor Panos Prevedouros, has more than $1.8 million in advance of the Sept. 20 primary election.

Hannemann campaign spokesman A.J. Halagao said most of the donations received were less than $100, "reflecting our strong and broad-base support from various groups, including business, labor and working families."

Prevedouros, who raised $19,495.32, from July 1 to Sept. 5, said he was very grateful for the support and hoped to play off his performance in Tuesday night's mayoral debate at the Hawai'i Theatre.

He did not have any money from campaign contributions before to July 1.

"That's really encouraging; we have really received a lot of support from a lot of people," Prevedouros said. "I wish I had a little more so I could go into the mainstream media like prime-time TV but that's not the luck of the draw right now. But it is sufficient to run a good campaign."

Prevedouros is not advertising on television but is using e-mail and YouTube videos to get his message out.

Kobayashi raised about $125,000 from July 1 to Sept. 5. She had about $10,000 on hand to spend. She had raised $5,485.24 between Jan. 1 and June 30, and $34,650 in 2007.

"I'm sure whatever money comes in will be used for ads. We've had more signs stolen, but that's not a major setback for us," Kobayashi said. "We're doing a lot of getting out the vote (efforts) and it is proving effective."

On Sept. 2, Kobayashi's campaign reported that 160 of its campaign signs were stolen in Waimanalo.
