Revision as of 23:40, 6 February 2006
Daniel Edward Lungren (born September 22, 1946), a Republican from California, was elected to the United States House of Representatives in 2004, representing the state's 3rd Congressional district (see map). He succeeds Doug Ose, who retired.
Born in Long Beach, California of Irish and Swedish extraction, Lungren now calls Gold River, California, his home. He is married to Bobbi Lungren and has three children.
Lungren earned a A.B. with honors in English from the University of Notre Dame in 1968. After graduating, he returned to California to chair "Youth for Nixon." He began law school at the University of Southern California and later transferred to Georgetown University Law Center from which he earned his J.D. in 1971.
Lungren has served once before in the House, from 1979 - 1989, representing California's 34th Congressional District, which then included his native Long Beach. He left the House when California Governor George Deukmejian appointed him as California's acting state Treasurer, but was never confirmed (see ]).
He was elected the state's attorney general and served from 1991 - 1999. In 1998 Lungren ran as the Republican candidate for Governor of California, but was defeated by Lieutenant Governor Gray Davis. Lungren received 38% of the vote.
Lungren has said his desire to serve in Congress was rekindled by the September 11, 2001 attacks. During his first tenure in Congress, Lungren was a harbinger of the "angry young man" style of conservative politics that has now become common among Republicans. He served on the U.S. House Committee on the Judiciary, where his signature issue was immigration. He pushed for sanctions against employers who hired illegal immigrants, but has also supported limited amnesty programs for some illegal aliens. He has expressed an interest in becoming involved in those issues again.
