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.. 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.
