Douglas F. "Doug" Gansler (born in the general election on November 7 , 2006.

Gansler spent some of his early years in New Jersey before moving to the Washington area in the mid-1970's. His political ambition seems to have been incubated early.

Gansler attended Sidwell Friends School , a Quaker school in Washington, D.C. in grades 6-12. A gifted, boisterous personality, Gansler made waves at the school, inspiring ill-will
in some, but attracting a circle of remarkably loyal friends, most of whom he keeps in touch with to this day. A natural athlete somewhat allergic to traditional coaching methods, Gansler excelled at lacrosse.

From Sidwell Friends, Gansler went on to Yale University , where he played lacrosse with distinction, graduated Cum Laude , and received his Law Degree from the University Of Virginia School Of Law .

Gansler served as the State's Attorney for Montgomery County, Maryland from January 1999 until January 2 , 2007 . Prior to this position, Gansler was an assistant United States Attorney from 1992 to 1998, and a member of the law firms of Coburn & Schertler and Howrey & Simon.

Doug Gansler took the oath of office as Attorney General on January 2 , 2007 .
