2006 California Primary Results - Institute of Governmental Studies Library

The ''[[Institute of Governmental Studies Library|http://igs.berkeley.edu/library]]'' is one of the nation's premier libraries of nontrade and ephemeral materials on American public affairs and policy. Pamphlets and unbound reports from a broad spectrum of public interest organizations, research institutes and government agencies are the heart of the collection. The Library also has a strong core collection of books and journals on American political science and public administration.\n\nThe Library has served the research and public service mission of the Institute of Governmental Studies for over 70 years. It was organized in 1921 at the founding of the Institute, then known as the Bureau of Public Administration, and has evolved into a large specialized library serving not only Institute scholars but the University community and the general public.\n\nWith continuing advances in information technology, the Library's resources have expanded to include not only the on-site collection, but the online resources of the digital age. The Library remains a repository of unique and valuable materials, and it also offers state-of-the-art electronic information services.\n\nThe Library is one of several large specialized libraries on the Berkeley campus [[affiliated|http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/AFFIL/]] with research institutes and professional schools, and independent of the campus library system. \n\nFor a listing of the library staff, see [[IGS Staff]].

!Selected County and Local Races\n\n''County Superintendent of Schools''\n\nSheila Jordan, the superintendent of Alameda county schools since 1998, faced a strong challenge from John Bernard, the superintendent of Newark Unified School District and the former superintendent of the Novato Unified School District (1999-2003) and the Bakersfield City School District (1995-1999).\n\n|| !Sheila Jordan | 133,600 || 62.7% ||\n|| !John Bernard | 78,800 || 37% ||\n\n\n''Oakland''\n//Mayor//\n\nThe two-term mayor, Jerry Brown, was term-limited out of office and went on to run for Attorney General in the primary. Oakland had to revert to using paper ballots for the primary because of legal challenges to the reliability of its Diebold electronic voting system, and as a result, no candidate was able to claim victory on June 6. It took until June 16 for unofficial final results to be tabulated by the Alameda County registrar. For a while, it looked as though Dellums and De La Fuente might face off in a November runoff election, but ultimately, Dellums avoided the below-50% cutoff point by 155 votes and was able to claim victory outright.\n\nResults as of the evening of June 16:\n|| !Ron Dellums | 42,000 || 50.2% ||\n|| !Ignacio De La Fuente | 27,600 || 33.0% ||\n|| !Nancy Nadel | 10,900 || 13.1% ||\n\n''Hayward''\n//Mayor//\n|| !Michael Sweeney | 9,300 || 57.9% ||\n|| !Brian Schott | 6,700 || 41.8% ||\n\n''San Leandro''\n//Mayor//\n|| !Tony Santos | 7,000 || 47.8% ||\n|| !Orval Badger | 5,300 || 36.2% ||\n|| !Marcene Nardine | 1,500 || 10% ||

Over $65 million was spent by both Democratic gubernatorial primary candidates in what was widely described as one of the bitterest campaigns in recent California political history. Most of the money was spent on a series of negative television campaign advertisements, many of which were funded in the final days of the campaign by independent expenditure committees. Phil Angelides will face Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger in the fall election.\n\n|| !Phil Angelides | 1,165,800 || 48.2% ||\n|| !Steve Westly | 1,044,300 || 43.1% ||\n|| !Barbara Becnel | 64,000 || 2.7% ||

!Selected House of Representatives contests\n\n''District 4''\nModoc County south to El Dorado County\n\nDoolittle, in office since 1991 and the sixth highest-ranking GOP member of the House, faced a surprisingly strong primary challenge from the mayor of Auburn, Mike Holmes, who pointed out Doolittle's links to sacndal-ridden lobbyist Jack Abramoff.\n\n//Republican//\n|| !John Doolittle | 55,200 || 67% ||\n|| !Mike Holmes | 27,300 || 33% ||\n\n//Democratic//\n|| !Charles Brown | 23,300 || 46.5% ||\n|| !Lisa Rea | 16,800 || 33.4% ||\n\n''District 6''\nMost of Sonoma and Marin Counties\n\nWoolsey, a member of the House since 1993, faced a stronger-than-expected challenge from Joe Nation, a termed-out State Assembly member (6th District).\n\n//Democratic//\n|| !Lynn Woolsey | 72,000 || 66.2% ||\n|| !Joe Nation | 36,800 || 33.8% ||\n\n//Republican//\n|| !Todd Lewis Hooper | 19,400 || 57.4% ||\n|| !Mike Halliwell | 14,400 || 42.6% ||\n\n''District 11''\nMost of San Joaquin County; southern Alameda County; eastern Santa Clara County\n\nPombo, a Congressman since 1993, faced a stronger-than-expected primary challenge from the left by Pete ~McCloskey, a former GOP Congressman (1967-1983) and co-sponsor of the Endangered Species Act. Pombo was targeted for defeat by environmental activism groups upset with what they termed his "gutting" of environmental protection laws.\n\n//Republican//\n|| !Richard Pombo | 31,500 || 61.7% ||\n|| !Pete ~McCloskey | 16,600 || 32.6% ||\n\n//Democratic//\n|| !Jerry ~McNerney | 21,800 || 53.2% ||\n|| !Stephen Nigel Filson | 11,600 || 28.2% ||\n|| !Stevan Thomas | 7,600 || 18.6% ||\n\n''District 24''\nMost of Santa Barbara and Ventura Counties\n\nElton Gallegly, a Congressman since 1987, announced his retirement in March 2006 due to health problems, but Karl Rove, President Bush's political adviser, persuaded him to stay in the race. Gallegly's Democratic opponent is a relatively unknown Stockton activist.\n\n//Republican//\n|| !Elton Gallegly | 50,800 || 80.2% ||\n|| !Michael Tenenbaum | 12,600 || 19.8% ||\n\n//Democratic//\n|| !Jill Martinez | 35,800 || 100% ||\n\n''District 36''\nVenice, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, El Segundo, parts of Long Beach\n\nCongresswoman Jane Harman, in office since 2001 (and prior to that from 1993 to 1999) and the ranking Democrat on the House Select Committee on Intelligence, faced a strong challenge from the left by Marcy Winograd, a Santa Monica political activist. Harman's fall challenger, Brian Gibson, is a retired engineer who favors strict immigration controls.\n\n//Democratic//\n|| !Jane Harman | 30,200 || 62.5% ||\n|| !Marcy Winograd | 18,200 || 37.5% ||\n\n//Republican//\n|| !Brian Gibson | 23,800 || 100% ||\n\n''District 50''\nNorth-central San Diego County (San Marcos, Encinitas, Solana Beach)\n\nProbably the most watched and nationally discussed race of the primary season, the contest in District 50 was a special election to replace Randy "Duke" Cunningham, a Republican Congressman in office from 1991 to November 2005, when he was forced to resign in a bribery scandal. Brian Bilbray, a lobbyist and former Congressman (49th District, 1995-2001), ran against Francine Busby, a member of the local school board in ~Cardiff-by-the-Sea who had run against Cunningham in 2004. \n\nBusby displayed strength in the polls until the final days of the race, and her potential victory was seen as a bellwether of the Democratic Party's strength in the upcoming fall election season. Busby made some remarks on the campaign trail several days before the primary in which she appeared to support illegal immigrants voting without proper documents, and this misstep, along with the general Republican leanings of the district (Bush won the district by 56% in 2004) and the GOP's determination to win the election, ensured her primary defeat. The Republican National Congressional Committee spent upwards of $4.5 million in the race to ensure Bilbray's narrow majority. \n\nBilbray will face Busby again in the November election, although polls taken since the primary show a wide distance between Bilbray, who now has the advantage of incumbency, and Busby.\n\n//Republican//\n|| !Brian Bilbray | 41,200 || 54.1% ||\n|| !Eric Roach | 10,500 || 13.9% ||\n|| !Bill Hauf | 9,900 || 13% ||\n\n//Democratic//\n|| !Francine Busby | 51,800 || 89.9% ||\n|| !Chris Raye Young | 5,900 || 10.1% ||

California, along with [[seven other states|http://www.fvap.gov/pubs/vag/pdfvag/appendix_c.pdf]], held its general primary election on ''6 June 2006.'' Voters decided which candidates will appear on the ballot in the general election on 7 November 2006 and voted on two statewide ballot measures. Since January 2001, California has had a [[modified closed primary|http://www.ss.ca.gov/elections/elections_decline.htm]], which allows voters who have stated that they are unaffiliated ("decline to state") with any political party to vote for party candidates. \n\nAccording to the [[Field Poll|http://field.com/fieldpollonline/subscribers/RLS2202.pdf]], the turnout for the June 6 election was projected to be the lowest in the state since the Field Poll begin making pre-election turnout estimates in 1946.\n\nThis page is a resource with quick summaries of the outcomes of the major California races, including statewide officeholders, Congressional representatives, state legislators, selected county and local officeholders, and statewide ballot measures and selected county and local measures. \n\nFor official and final statewide results, visit the [[California Secretary of State|http://vote.ss.ca.gov/]] website.\n\nFor detailed and up-to-date maps of Congressional and state legislative districts, as well as exhaustive datasets and other authoritiative material about the state redistricting process, next scheduled to occur in 2011, please take the time to visit the [[Statewide Database|http://swdb.berkeley.edu/info/info.html]].\n\n[[This resource|http://www.sfusualsuspects.com/Latterman%20-%20June%202006%20Election%20Analysis.pdf]] runs detailed statistical analysis of June 2006 preliminary statement of vote numbers for San Francisco area state senate and assembly races and ballot measures.

However, the district is reliably Democratic and Yee's November challengers are not expected to present an obstacle.\n\n//Democratic//\n|| !Leland Yee | 44,573 || 51.9% ||\n|| !Mike Nevin | 30,500 || 35.4% ||\n|| !Lou Papan | 11,000 || 12.7% ||\n\n//Republican//\n|| !Michael Skipakevich | 9,800 || 57.1% ||\n|| !Oscar Alejandro Braun | 7,400 || 42.9% ||\n\n''District 10''\nMost of Alameda County south of Oakland and Dublin\n\n//Democratic//\n|| !Ellen Corbett | 27,500 || 39.1% ||\n|| !Johan Klehs | 21,800 || 31% ||\n|| !John Dutra | 21,000 || 29.9% ||\n\n//Republican//\n|| !Lou Filipovich | 11,000 || 58.1% ||\n|| !Laura Riffle | 7,800 || 41.9% ||\n\n''District 20''\nSan Fernando and Northridge\n\n//Democratic//\n|| !Alex Padilla | 24,100 || 55.8% ||\n|| !Cindy Montanez | 19,200 || 44.2% ||\n\n''District 28''\nCentury City, Venice, Hermosa Beach, Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, Torrance\n\n//Democratic//\n|| !Jenny Oropeza | 33,800 || 52.8% ||\n|| !George Nakano | 30,200 || 47.2% ||\n\n//Republican//\n|| !Cherryl Liddle | 22,200 || 78.4% ||\n|| !David Lee Anstrom | 6,100 || 21.6% ||\n\n''District 30''\nHuntington Park, Commerce, Whittier, Pico Rivera, Bell Gardens, Hacienda Heights, Norwalk, South El Monte\n\nThe results of this contest were not completely certified until July 5.

The incumbent, Jack O'Connell, won in a race against four other relatively unknown candidates. Voters, some of whom were upset with O'Connell's decision to oppose a judge's ruling in favor of suspending California's high school exit exam, gave a surprisingly strong second-place showing to Sarah Knopp, the Green Party candidate (considering that the last Green candidate for the post polled 5%).\n\n|| !Jack O'Connell | 2,042,500 || 52.5% ||\n|| !Sarah Knopp | 669,200 || 17.2% ||\n|| !Diane Lenning | 553,100 || 14.2% ||\n|| !Daniel Bunting | 325,500 || 8.3% ||\n|| !Grant ~McMicken | 305,500 || 7.8% ||\n
