Bill Lockyer, ’86, is California’s 32nd State Treasurer following his election to that important constitutional office in November 2006. From 1999-2006, Lockyer served as California Attorney General and left a lasting legacy at the Department of Justice. In his eight years, he helped revolutionize crime fighting in California by creating and maintaining the nation’s most sophisticated DNA forensic crime laboratory. He also cracked down on Medi-Cal fraud, securing hundreds of millions of dollars in court-ordered restitution and penalties, established the Megan’s Law website to locate and identify registered sex offenders, and recovered billions of dollars for defrauded energy ratepayers, consumers and taxpayers. Prior to his election as Attorney General in 1998, Lockyer served for 25 years in the California Legislature, culminating his Capitol career with a stint as Senate President pro Tempore.
