KESQ NewsChannel 3 Palm Springs, CA: Schwarzenegger has two weeks to set California election

SAN DIEGO (AP) - California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's office has two weeks to set a date for an election to replace Congressman Randy Cunningham.

The Republican resigned yesterday after admitting he "broke the law" by taking nearly two and-a-half million dollars in bribes.

The election must be held within 120 days after Schwarzenegger sets the date. Cunningham's district is heavily Republican.

He pleaded guilty to graft, admitting he took money mostly from defense contractors in exchange for government business and other favors.

Cunningham could get up to ten years in prison when he's sentenced in February on charges of conspiracy, fraud and tax evasion.
