Description from Wikipedia:
John Raymond Garamendi (born January 24, 1945) is a U.S. politician and a member of the Democratic Party. He became the 46th Lieutenant Governor of California on January 8, 2007.

The primary election for the seat will be held on September 1 and the runoff election (if needed) will take place on November 3.
