DIVING INTO THE NUMBERS: Fundraising Numbers in California Congressional District 47 Show a Bleak Path for Republicans

Troutman remains top of the fundraising heap among competitors to Dave Min

So the numbers are in for first quarter fundraising in California’s important Congressional District 47.

Most observers agree Dave Min is a weak incumbent– a junior Democrat with a painful DUI on his record who has accomplished little in his first term in office.  But with Prop 50 skewing the map in the district, it is virtually impossible for a Republican contender to win in November.

Against this backdrop, independent candidate Eric J. Troutman has mounted an aggresive and well-funded campaign, hammering social media and holding well-attended townhall events in for the last month. His fundraising numbers continue to put him at the top of the heap.

Troutman is also making headlines for going after the sexual predators being protected by the parties, as well as for his aggresive independent positioning and willingness to debate any candidate, anytime, anywhere.

To date Troutman’s campaign has taken in over $240,000.00– well ahead of Republican Jenny Rae Le Roux and frontrunner Michael Maxsenti.

Long-shot Republican contender Christopher Gonzalez– a staunch conservative who lost badly in a failed 2022 bid for Congress has raised only $5,300.00 and has zero cash on hand.

Similarly, former assemblyman Bill Brough–whose term was mired with allegations of rape and sexual misconduct by his former female aides– has managed to raise only $6,200.00 for his comeback bid. He had less than $800.00 on hand at the time of his financial submission.

Troutman’s campaign is built around ending the party bickering, bringing down the cost of living and protecting families and small businesses. He is a strong negotiator– used to making billion dollar deals–who hopes to bring billions in spending to the district.

The Czar of TCPAWorld Eric Troutman is one of the country’s prominent class action defense lawyers and is nationally recognized in Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) litigation and compliance. He has served as lead defense counsel in more than 70 national TCPA class actions and has litigated nearly a thousand individual TCPA cases in his role as national strategic litigation counsel for major banks and finance companies. He also helps industry participants build TCPA-compliant processes, policies, and systems. Eric has built a national litigation practice based upon deep experience, rigorous analysis and extraordinary responsiveness. Eric and his team feel equally at home litigating multibillion dollar telecommunications class actions in federal court as they do developing and executing national litigation strategies for institutions facing an onslaught of individual TCPA matters. They thrive in each of these roles – delivering consistently excellent results – while never losing sight of the client experience. While many firms now tout TCPA expertise, Eric has been there from the beginning. He built one of the country’s first TCPA-only defense teams and began serving as national TCPA counsel for his clients nearly a decade ago. This perspective allows him to swiftly develop the right litigation strategies for dealing with recurring problems, without wasting time on tactics that are bound to fail. Eric’s rich historical perspective and encyclopedic knowledge of the TCPA landscape also make him an invaluable resource to institutional compliance teams struggling to comply with the shifting regulatory landscape. No task is too small – or too big. Indeed, Eric and his team have helped build TCPA-compliant systems and processes for some of the largest and most complex corporate entities in the country. He commonly works with in-house compliance counsel to build and implement enterprise and business-line specific TCPA solutions, performs TCPA audits and drafts and reviews proposed TCPA policies and procedures. He and his team also have the technical expertise necessary to assist call centers seeking to develop TCPA-resistant call path architecture or to modify existing telephony and software integration to better insulate from potential TCPA exposure. Eric has built a reputation for thought leadership. An avid blogger and speaker, he has been at the forefront of the industry’s effort to push for clarity and a return to sanity for the TCPA for years. He was selected to advocate for the financial services industry on important TCPA issues before the Federal Communications Commission and co-authored the nation’s only comprehensive practice guide on TCPA defense. In his spare time, Eric leads defense teams representing banks and other financial services companies in consumer finance litigation matters. He has experience representing clients in UCC, TILA, RESPA FCRA, CCRA, CLRA, FDCPA, RFDCPA and FCCPA claims, as well as in fraud and bank operations issues.
