By Peter Boylan
Advertiser Staff Writer

Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann spent more than $1 million between Jan. 1 and Sept. 20 as part of his campaign to return to Honolulu Hale for four more years, according to Hawai'i Campaign Spending Commission records.

During that same period Hannemann raised $838,751.58 and spent $1,069.084.30.

He has a little more than $1.5 million remaining in his coffers.

His opponent in the Nov. 4 general election, City Council member Ann H. Kobayashi, raised $202,920.74 from Jan. 1 to Sept. 20. She spent $353,148.14 during the same period.

Koabayashi's campaign is $152,227.40 in the red.

She did raise more money than Hannemann during the two weeks immediately following the primary.

From Sept. 6 to Sept. 20, Kobayashi raised $83,015.50 while Hannemann raised $28,412.09.

During the last mayoral contest, Hannemann spent roughly $2 million, while his opponent Duke Bainum spent $4 million.
