Nguoi Viet reported that Van Tran has a total of $253,000. Quang Pham raised $117,000 in his effort since August.
When asked about the upcoming primary against Quang Pham, Van Tran replied: " I put my funding to work for November election and not so much focus on the primary."
With his major donors coming from Vietnamese-American multimillionaires who have close business tie with the communist government (e.g. Hoang Kieu, owner of RAAS, who received commendation from State President Triet Nguyen and is now responsible for the promotion of Miss World 2010 to be held in VN), Van Tran was very confident that he could raise $1.5 million.
He will have at least 1 dozen fund raising events in November, he boasted.
One interesting note about the Nguoi Viet's article is that they pointed out the fact that he received $4,800 from David Duong, the multimillionaire from San Jose who is has mutliple investments in Vietnam and is a close friend of the former prime minister of Vietnam, Phan van Khai and a strong supporter of the controversial Madison Nguyen, San Jose city councilmember.

Van Tran may have done relatively well with his fundraising (arm-twisting) but I am not so sure how much good that will do him when the voters hear the audio of his interaction with Westminster PD interfering with their DUI investigation of Andy Quach. The audio and transcript is here: http://www.theliberaloc.com/2009/10/21/van-tran-not-so-hot-with-audio-from-quach-accident/
