Attorney General Bill Lockyer, a long-time nemesis of mine in the California Legislature, proved he’ll do anything for a vote when he married his third wife:

The small, private wedding of William Westwood Lockyer and Nadia Maria Davis last Friday was limited to close family and friends, but 35 million Californians have an interest.

The groom is California’s Attorney General and is raising money to run for governor in 2006. Serving his second term in an office that’s a traditional springboard to the governor’s office, and with 25 years in the state Legislature also under his belt, Lockyer is a potent fund-raiser and Democratic power broker.

Now he has married a politically active Latino woman 30 years his junior, and the child they expect late this summer will turn 3 years old in the year Lockyer makes his gubernatorial bid.

Lockyer dated some much more substantial women before marrying this one, including the former head of the California Judges’ Association and state senator or two. The only question about this marriage is who the child’s father is, but we’ll probably never know. Congratulations are in order all around.

  1. I assume you didn’t do much research into my professional background prior to writing your comments above. I would be offended, but the obvious obsurdity of your negative comments about what makes a woman “substantial” prevented that. Thanks for respecting a new mother and wife who also happens to be an attorney, former school board member, and community advocate.

  2. I hadn’t seen Nadia’s comment until now, and I do have to admit my posting was very mean. As far as I know, she is a wonderful person and can’t be blamed for Lockyer’s myriad faults.
