California's 48th congressional district special election, 2005

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In the fall of 2005, a special election was held in the 48th Congressional District of California to choose a United States Representative to replace Republican Christopher Cox, who resigned effective August 2, 2005, to become Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. A Special primary election was held on October 4. Because no candidate received more than 50% of the vote, a runoff general election took place on December 6, 2005.

Republican candidate John Campbell ultimately won the runoff with only 44% of the vote, as there were three major candidates.
