RE:       Harris Wins California Attorney General Race

Though Democrats faced a challenging political climate this year, the
Democratic Attorneys General Association is thankful to have held on to so
many of its incumbents and welcome some brilliant new individuals among its
ranks. Today, we are especially thankful that we can announce one more new
colleague: San Francisco District Attorney and Attorney General-Elect Kamala
Harris.

In a race that has see-sawed back and forth since election night, San
Francisco Attorney General Kamala Harris has emerged the victor in the race
for California Attorney General.  We have included an article below that
provides additional details and we will continue to bring you the latest
updates as they develop.

This victory and your continued support make the entire DAGA family remember
that we have much to be thankful for.  We wish you and your families a very
happy and safe Thanksgiving Holiday.

[2]Kamala Harris wins attorney general's race as Steve Cooley concedes
Los Angeles Times - BY Jack Leonard - November 24, 2010
More than three weeks after he declared victory in the race for state
attorney general, Los Angeles County Dist. Atty. Steve Cooley conceded
defeat Wednesday as he trailed by more than 50,000 votes in one of the
closest statewide races in California history.

The decision means that San Francisco Dist. Atty. Kamala Harris will assume
the post of California's top law enforcement official, giving Democrats a
clean sweep of the statewide offices.

Uncertainty had swirled around the election result since shortly after the
votes began to be counted on Nov. 2. Cooley claimed victory on election
night, only to discover the next morning that he was behind. As county
registrars scrambled to count more than 2 million ballots left uncounted
after election day, the lead bounced back and forth, but Harris has held an
advantage for more than a week.

By Tuesday evening, Harris led Cooley by nearly 53,000 votes -- 4,385,438 to
4,332,596 -- according to a Times review of updated vote tallies in all 58
counties. The secretary of state's office reported that there were 154,806
ballots left uncounted statewide, though the actual number is most likely
much less given the delay in some counties reporting their most recent
figures to the state's election agency.

To win, Cooley would need more than two-thirds of those votes to overtake
Harris. So far, the gap between the candidates has been less than a single
percentage point. Moreover, about two-thirds of the remaining votes are in
counties that Harris carried, including Contra Costa, Monterey and Sonoma.
