Lungren is a conservative who opposes abortion and supports President Bush's call for a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, but he's shown a pragmatic streak, compromising on gun and immigration issues.
Lungren served on the Judiciary Committee during his first stint in Congress, most prominently working to pass the 1986 immigration reform law that granted legal status to almost 3 million undocumented immigrants.
Lungren said he enjoyed his two terms as attorney general and his work since then as a lawyer, radio talk show host and visiting professor, but he relishes the prospect of returning to Capitol Hill.

Dan Lungren's office provided evidence to the court that Martinez was removed from the yard after only 18 seconds.
The only investigation which Lungren's office initiated, begun in 1996, focused on an incident in which guards dragged a number of inmates onto the yard and, hiding their own faces, proceeded to kick and beat the prisoners.
Matt Ross, a spokesman for the attorney general's office, says Lungren did not want to interfere with the ongoing FBI investigation of the shootings, and therefore focused on the beating incident in his investigation.

 FACTS Response to Dan Lungren
Lungren attempts to dismiss the costs of incarceration by stating that "the costs of crimes committed against our citizens is higher than the cost of incarcerating them" and then attributes ALL of the drop in crime in 1994 and 1995 to the 3-Strikes law.
Lungren states the fact that voters "overwhelmingly passed the initiative, by 72 percent to 28" and uses this as a justification for the law (even though he does not support other passed public initiatives such as the use of marijuana for medical purposes).
Interestingly, Lungren even states that there is over a 2,000 to one difference in the value of the violent and serious crimes (not to mention the non-violent and non-serious crimes) committed when he values a murder at $2,940,000 and a burglary at only $1,400.

 Pete Wilson, Dan Lungren, BPT, CDC - RICO Act Conspiracy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Attorney General Dan Lungren, as co-conspirator, continues to protect Pete Wilson's rear (a rearguard action) by procedurally stalling prisoners' "Writs" in court, regardless of how legitimate they are - and by whitewashing Wilson as he did when Senator Burton alleged wrongdoing by the Governor.
It is clearly a threat to influence the votes of the legislators and the fact that Lungren works for Wilson (Article 5, Section 13 "subject to the power and duties of the Governor"), shows conflict of interest in his investigation.
