California's Secretary of State is the chief elections officer, who also maintains the state archives and the filings that businesses are required to submit. The incumbent is Democrat Debra Bowen, who served 14 years in the Legislature before winning her first term. Her Republican challenger is Damon Dunn, who's never held public office. He attended Stanford on a football scholarship, played a few years of pro ball, and then went into the real estate business in Orange County. We hear them debate.
