The 2002 California Attorney General election occurred on November 5, 2002. The primary elections took place on March 5, 2002. The Democratic incumbent, Bill Lockyer, easily defeated the Republican nominee, State Senate Minority Leader Dick Ackerman.
Background
In March 2002, the Los Angeles Times reported that, while Lockyer's first term had drawn criticism from the left and right, his extensive fundraising deterred many prospective challengers from running against him.[1] The California Republican Party eventually recruited State Senate Minority Leader Dick Ackerman after struggling to find other candidates.[1] In the Democratic primary, Lockyer faced a minor challenge from attorney Mike Schmier.[1]
