California Congress of Republicans Endorses Eric Early for Attorney General
SACRAMENTO, CA – One of the state’s leading GOP organizations, the Congress of California Republicans (CCR), has voted in Aptos, California to endorse Eric Early’s candidacy for Attorney General.
“It’s a tremendous honor to earn the support of a veteran grass-roots organization like the Congress of California Republicans,” said Early. “CCR is an amazing group of people who care deeply about our state and know that it’s time for a common sense Republican to get to Sacramento and start putting a stop to years and years of one party’s abuse of power.”
“Eric Early is what California needs as Attorney General,” said CCR President Peter Verbica. “He’s a fighter who brings an outsider’s common sense and commitment to law-and-order to this race. What is near and dear to me as a dad with a daughter who served in the U.S. Navy is Eric’s longstanding support of veterans and The Wounded Warrior Project. Eric will make an excellent Attorney General.”
Eric Early is running to protect all of California’s law-abiding citizens whatever their race, religion, creed, color or sexual orientation. Early is an attorney with 25 years of experience as a successful business and real estate litigator. He has championed justice fighting for his clients in courts throughout California and much of the country, built a successful law firm, meeting payroll for years, while specializing in helping job creators, businesses and innovators succeed and stay in California and hardworking people stay in their homes. Eric wants to fight for all Californians like he has fought for his clients for 25 years. www.ericearly.com;www.Facebook.com/EricEarlyforAG

A revitalized California Congress of Republicans (“CCR”) gathered its members, delegates, and guests this weekend in Burbank, California as they elected a new Board of Directors, and discussed a new vision for the future of California Republicans.
Guest speakers at the CCR convention included Burbank Mayor Jess Talamantes, California Assembly Members Vince Fong (R – Bakersfield) and Tom Lackey (R-Palmdale), Gubernatorial Candidate John Cox, California Republican Party Chair and former California Senator Jim Brulte and Scripps College Economics Professor Sean Flynn.
Newly-elected President, Peter Coe Verbica, senior financial advisor and current head of SPARC, CCR’s Silicon Valley chapter, will serve as leader of CCR. “We envision an inclusive Republican Party in California. We are the party of hope and opportunity for all Californians,” Verbica stated. “We know what works and we have clearly seen what doesn’t work. Californians want a clear path to the best schools, reasonable gasoline and income taxes, dams and roads which are maintained, and land use policies which allow for affordable homes.”
Additional incoming board officers elected to CCR leadership include new First Vice President, Mark Hershey, a retired sheriff’s deputy from the Santa Clarita Chapter; Treasurer R.J. Kelly, USMC (ret.), a CPA from the Santa Clarita Chapter; Recording Secretary Sharon Durbin, a retired nurse from the Hemet Chapter; and, Membership Secretary Pam Corradi.

The Bay Area’s Peter Verbica has been elected by the California Congress of Republicans to serve as its new state president for the next two years. He was elected unanimously at the recent state convention held in Burbank.
The California Congress of Republicans (CCR) is a grassroots political organization, founded in 1989 and permanently chartered by the California Republican Party. It has local chapters around the state.
In addition to usual Republican political goals, one of Peter Verbica’s major goals is more inclusion. He said, “We envision an inclusive Republican Party in California. We are the party of hope and opportunity for all Californians. We know what works and we have clearly seen what doesn’t work. Californians want a clear path to the best schools, reasonable gasoline and income taxes, dams and roads which are maintained, and land use policies which allow for affordable homes.”
Another goal is educational: “CCR is out to vigorously educate the public on critical issues, including how costs spiral upwards in higher education, housing and transportation because of government’s restriction of supply.”
Verbica points out that “California has some of the worst schools in the nation, the highest levels of poverty, a crumbling infrastructure, high gasoline, sales and income taxes, and restrictive land use policies which drive down supply and increase housing costs.”
Peter Coe Verbica is the current president of SPARC (South Peninsula Area Republican Coaltion), one of the most active CCR units. Professionally, he is a senior financial advisor and assistant vice president at a prominent wealth management company in Silicon Valley. He is also an adjunct professor in the Economics Department at San Jose State, where he teaches a popular “Principles of Investments” course.
Mr. Verbica has served the community on various non-profit boards and committees, including KTEH-TV, DeSaisset Museum, Bellarmine College Preparatory’s Board of Fellows, Boy Scouts, the Santa Cruz Ballet Theatre, Rotary Club of Santa Cruz and others.
Peter Verbica grew up on a cattle ranch in the hills of Northern California. He graduated from Bellarmine College Preparatory in San Jose. He earned his BA at Santa Clara University, a JD from Santa Clara University School of Law, and an MS at MIT.
His family donated the heart of Henry W. Coe, Jr. State Park, which is now California’s second largest state park. It’s located in the hills east of Morgan Hill and is named after Peter’s great grandfather.
Peter is an unabashed advocate of cowboy culture and enjoys creative writing, hiking, and tennis. He is married and has four daughters. He’s proud that his oldest daughter served in the US Navy and that his second daughter is helping with deforestation issues in the Panamanian rain forest with the Smithsonian Institution.
Other Bay Area Republicans elected at the CCR convention are Division Vice Presidents George Yang and Steve Brown. You can learn more about the California Congress of Republicans at their website, www.ccr-gop.com.
