   _Event Recap
   _2011 DAGA Fall Policy Conference
   _September 14-15, 2011_
   _Sonoma, CA_

   Last week in Sonoma, CA, DAGA hosted the most widely attended conference to
   date with 13 Attorneys General, 2 candidates and almost 300 supports! A
   special thanks to our Attorneys General in attendance and supporters for
   joining us! We’d also like to thank our event sponsors for their support and
   for making the conference a success!

   __Louisiana Attorney General Buddy Caldwell has essentially clinched
   reelection this week after his only challenger, former US Rep. Joe Cao (R),
   withdrew from the race. Democrats did not field a candidate.

   After announcing in April that he intended to run, Rep. Cao officially filed
   for the election in early September. A summer of slow campaign fundraising
   though led the first Vietnamese American congressman to drop out of the race
   on Tuesday.

   General Caldwell made news this February when he changed parties from
   Democrat to Republican, a switch which has led some Republicans to challenge
   his conservative credentials. Caldwell has been endorsed by Republican
   Junior Senator David Vitter who cited his stance against the Health Care Law
   as one of the many reasons Caldwell is a true conservative.
