The 2006 U.S. Senate election for the state of California will be held November 7, 2006. Senator Dianne Feinstein is popular in Democratic-leaning California, and will likely have no serious Republican opposition in a state that requires a large amount of money to wage a competitive statewide campaign. However, anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan is considering challenging Feinstein in the Democratic primary.
