Procilius and [[Citizens – Popular Alternative|CPA]] initially struggled in the polls, earning no higher than a meager 2% from the dissolution of the Senate in late January until mid-March. While polling low, Procilius managed to recruit many people to run under the CPA banner, which he states was a major priority of his leading up to the [[Latin general election, 2017|2017 election]]. By the filing deadline on March 9, CPA was able to register 563 candidates — the third most of any party after [[Untied Latium]] and the [[Progressive Party of Latium|Progressives]]. This enabled Procilius to participate in all official debates of the campaign cycle. Procilius and CPA focused on community outreach and social media due to the initial lack of campaign donations.

Procilius first began to gain notoriety when he called on [[Consul of the Latin Empire|Consul]] [[Alexander Pompilius]] to call for and schedule a debate. On March 9, an Procilius was invite to an informal debate, which involved him and 4 other party leaders. At the debate, Procilius continued his attacks on Pompilius, later being credited by some in the media as one of the reasons Pompilius agreed to schedule a formal debate.
