Perata's Prostate
Don Perata, a former California state Senate president who is running for mayor of Oakland, has been treated for prostate cancer, apparently successfully.
Perata got the diagnosis in May - about two weeks after the FBI finally cleared him in a 5-year corruption investigation.
"Trust me, the FBI was a lot tougher to handle with than this. At least with cancer I knew what I was dealing with," Perata said.

GOVERNING Politics is the place for news and analysis on campaigns and elections. If there's a ballot measure in California, a legislative election in Alabama, a mayoral election in Anchorage or a governor's race in Rhode Island, GOVERNING Politics probably is writing about it. We love everything about state and local politics, from polls and campaign ads to policy debates and demographic trends.
