Dan Lungren graduated with honors in English from the University of Notre Dame. Following his undergraduate studies, he began law school at the University of Southern California and later transferred to Georgetown University Law Center from which he earned his JD.During his Georgetown years, Dan worked on the staff of U.S. Senators George Murphy (R-CA) and Bill Brock (R-TN). Congressman Lungren worked as a special assistant to the Co-Chairman of the Republican National Committee in 1971-1972. Returning to his hometown of Long Beach, CA, he joined a local law firm specializing in a predominately civil trial practice. Congressman Lungren was elected to public office at the age of 32 defeating a two-term incumbent in California's historic "Prop 13" election year. For ten years, Dan served in the U.S. Congress where he was viewed as a Republican leader in criminal justice and immigration issues. In 1985, he was cited by the US News and World Report as one of a handful of members of Congress "likely to be a future national leader." Dan left Congress in 1989 and returned to California when then-Governor George Deukmejian appointed him to serve out the State Treasurer's term of the late Jesse Unruh. Democrats, however, spared no effort to block his confirmation. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the Democrats "praised Lungren's integrity, but said they were unwilling to vote for a Republican whose congressional voting record was so conservative." California voters disagreed, and the following year elected Dan Lungren Attorney General of California, a position he held for eight years. During his two-term service as California's Attorney General (1991-1999), Dan helped author and later defended in court California's landmark "Three-Strikes-and-You're-Out" law. Dan's sponsorship of legislation against sexual predators culminated in the state's "Megan's Law," giving Californians the right to know if their children are at risk of predators in their own neighborhoods. He provided national leadership in the reform of the federal habeas corpus law. As Attorney General, Dan successfully argued a case before the United States Supreme Court. From 1993 to 1998, crime plunged 30 percent to historic lows in California, in large part due to the tough-on-crime policies of Dan Lungren. Following an unsuccessful run for Governor against Gray Davis in 1998, Dan did a stint as a nationally syndicated radio talk show host and served as a fellow at Harvard University's Institute of Politics before returning to the private practice of law. The events of 9-11 prompted Dan's return to public service. Believing that each of us had to respond in the most effective way to the terrorist threat, he sought election to the Congress so that the lessons learned from his past governmental experience might be added to the national debate. To prevail in the fight against global terrorism, Dan believes that we must develop and maintain unsurpassed training and equipment for our troops, provide the resources for our intelligence community to adapt to the changing world, provide adequate funding for forward looking defense programs, and create a homeland security strategy based on rational risk assessment rather than pork barrel politics. Dan's lifetime belief that America's national defense is the number one responsibility and priority of the federal government was affirmed on 9/11. While he believes that America responded to 9/11 with resolve, determination and a ferocity born of our love for freedom, Dan asserts that we must continue to adapt to the changing tactics of our enemies and directly fight the transnational Islamic fascism of those who elect terrorism as their weapon of choice. Dan is personally committed to enhancing the quality and depth of Congressional oversight of our government's intelligence gathering and analysis and the provision of homeland security. As a member of the House Judiciary Committee and Homeland Security Committee, Congressman Lungren is in a unique position to make that a reality. Dan and his wife, Bobbi, have three adult children: Jeff, Kelly and Kathleen and six grandchildren---Reagan, Julia, Jack, Alexandra, Andrew and Fiona. Congressman Lungren addressed the current events in the Middle East as being very dangerous... He spoke at length about the assignation of our Libyan Ambassador and his view that we are sending the wrong signals that are perceived as demonstrating weakness. He explained that 9-11 united us as a country, but we have lost our sense of urgency in world matters, especially the Middle East... Congressman Lungren explained that Cyber Security, both Public and Private is a daunting issue...Q & A addressed understanding how big bills (2K pages) are processed and Sequestration, if enacted, would lead to major reductions in defense, leaving us with a hollow military... Thanks Congressman Lungren for sharing your busy schedule with us... All The Best...
