HONOLULU -- Honolulu City Councilman 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 former U.S. Rep. Ed Case in campaign contributions.
Djou, a Republican, 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.

Democrat state Senate President Colleen Hanabusa recently announced her campaign. She is required to file a report in January.
