Biography
Who is Dan Lungren?
He’s the guy who will literally stay up at night thinking
of ways to keep you and your family safe.
He can’t rest easy until he knows he’s secured the funding necessary for regional flood
control like the $1.5 billion to build a new spillway, flood control gates
and a new top to the Folsom Dam itself. When completed,
these measures will double the flood protection for
the region.
This year he fought for new Emergency Operation Centers
for the cities of Elk Grove and Folsom. The Galt Herald
said: "Lungren lands $500,000 for Galt wastewater plant. City leaders thanked him,
though they had come to expect it."
A husband, father and grandfather, the same man who
was once California’s “Top Cop” has a reputation for championing public safety.
It was Attorney General Dan Lungren who helped author
and successfully defend 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.
When Sacramento County Sheriff John McGinness needed
a voice in Washington to help him reapply for COPS
funding following the loss of some 333 deputies and services to budget cuts, he turned to
Dan Lungren.
"I will continue to fight for my constituents and the
Sacramento County Sheriff's Department to see that
their story is told here in Washington" Dan said, at
the time submitting a new application to the office
of U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder.
And after 9-11, Dan understood immediately the world had changed
forever.
That’s why he was a key leader in re-authorizing the Patriot Act, the law that law enforcement
is using to protect us from terrorists here at home.
Throughout 2009 Dan Lungren was the man who fought the Pelosi and
Reid majority party on their plans to bring the government
between you and your health care.
