Randall Harold Cunningham, (born December 8, 1941) usually known as Randy or Duke, was a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives from California's 50th congressional district from 1991 to 2005. Cunningham resigned from the House on November 28, 2005 after pleading guilty to federal charges of conspiracy to commit bribery, mail fraud, wire fraud, and tax evasion for underreporting his income in 2004. The guilty plea constituted an admission for receiving at least $2.4 million in bribes. A special election to fill the vacancy left by Cunningham is scheduled for April 11, 2006.
