Robert Prenter

Robert M. Prenter, Jr. was a California State Assemblyman from 1996 to 1998.

Personal life

Prenter was born in Harbor City, California in 1965.[1] He married Natasha Fooman in 2003.

Political career

He was elected to the State Assembly after defeating former Assembly Speaker Brian Setencich in the Republican primary (who ran as a write-in candidate in the general election).[2] Prenter was defeated for reelection in 1998 by Dean Florez. Prenter's initial campaign was largely funded by the conservative California Independent Business PAC, principally backed by his uncle, religious radio network owner Edward G.
