Former Rep. Ed Case pulled in $111,840 in his bid for U.S. Senate last quarter, according to a statement issued by the Case campaign. 

Case had already acknowledged that his fundraising totals would be much lower than fellow Democrat Rep. Mazie Hirono or former Hawaii Gov. Linda Lingle, a Republican.  

Case’s fourth-quarter take represents about 6 percent of the nearly $1.8 million that Lingle raised in the last three-month period. Case raised 18 percent of the $624,363 that Hirono raised in that time. 

Case suggested he raised less because only 2 percent of his donations came from political action committees. 

“
Follow 
(Hirono’s) 
money
 when 
she 
releases 
her 
full 
end‐of‐year 
report 
and
 the 
trail

to
 lobbyists 
and 
other
 mainland
 special
 interests
 who 
place
 their 
own concerns 
above
 the
 people 
of 
Hawaii,” Case said in a statement. 

The Case campaign says it spent $101,498 last quarter, and had $283,167 at the start of the year.
