The late contributions report for Neil Abercrombie shows him picking up a last-minute spurt of cash — $182,170 in the past 10 days — from professors, lawyers, Realtors, developers, engineers, architects, construction companies, housewives and retired folks.

Abercrombie’s opponent, Mufi Hannemann, did not file a late report.

Abercrombie’s late contributors include donors who have already given to his campaign, like construction company president Ralph Inouye ($1,000) and engineers and architects that work for Mitsunaga & Associates.

Names that caught our eye in the new filing include the following:

Architects Stanford Lee, owner of NextDesign ($4,000)

Attorneys Brook Hart ($1,000), Earl Anzai ($1,000)

Banks Central Pacific Bank PAC-STATE ($1,900)

Cruise Ships Holland America Line ($3,000)
