From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2006 California Attorney General election occurred on November 7, 2006. The primary elections took place on June 6, 2006. Former Governor Jerry Brown, the Democratic nominee, easily defeated the Republican nominee, State Senator Chuck Poochigian, for the office previously held by Bill Lockyer, who won the Treasurer's race in that same election. Michael Wyman was the Green Party nominee, Jack Harrison was the Peace and Freedom Party nominee, and Kenneth Weissman was the Libertarian Party nominee.
Poochigian was unopposed in the primary, while Brown faced Los Angeles City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo. Brown won with 63% of the vote to Delgadillo's 37%. [1]
