Joanna Weiss Bests Democratic Opponent in Q4 Fundraising
COSTA MESA, CA – For the third consecutive quarter, Joanna Weiss outraised the Democratic field in the race for California’s 47th congressional district. Weiss reported raising $325k in Q4 of 2023.
“I am proud of all of the support I have received in this campaign so far, and I look forward to serving this district in Congress,” said Weiss. “This campaign is fueled by individuals across the 47th district and Orange County. I have never taken corporate PAC money, and I never will. In the last quarter alone, we raised more in the state of California, in Orange County, and in the 47th district than our primary opponent. I’m honored that voters across the 47th and Orange County have put their faith in me for this race.”
“Joanna Weiss is the one of the top women, non-incumbent fundraisers in the country and that is due to the incredible campaign operation she has built to keep this must-win seat blue,” said campaign manager Emma Weinert. “She’s once again outraised the Democratic field and is going into the final weeks of the campaign with more cash on hand than her primary opponent. This race is too important to leave to chance, and we need someone who can consistently garner support from people in her district. That candidate is Joanna Weiss.”
Since launching her campaign, Weiss has earned support from Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren, State Controller Malia Cohen, Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis, Anaheim Mayor Asheligh Aitken, Congresswoman Sara Jacobs, Rep. John Garamendi, Rep. Eric Swalwell, Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove, Rep. Julia Brownley, Rep. Linda Sánchez, Rep. Annie Kuster, Rep. Lois Frankel, former Congressman Harley Rouda, Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie-Norris, Orange County Supervisor Katrina Foley, dozens of other women and local leaders, Moms Fed Up, EMILYs List, Elect Democratic Women PAC, Women’s Political Committee, and labor, who have announced their enthusiastic endorsement of Weiss.
