Doyle faced no general election opposition in 2002 and 2004 in this overwhelmingly Democratic district. In 2006, he faced token opposition from Green Party candidate Titus North, who garnered just 10% of the vote and conceded before election day that he had no chance of unseating the incumbant Democrat [1].
