On June 6, 2006, Bilbray won a special election as representative for California's 50th congressional district to serve out the remaining seven months of the term of fellow Republican former Representative Randy "Duke" Cunningham, who resigned after pleading guilty to accepting $2.4 million in bribes. Bilbray won re-election in the November 2006 general election and represented the 50th district until decennial redistricting. Due to district realignment from decennial redistricting, he ran as the incumbent in the 52nd district in the 2012 general election, but lost to Democrat Scott Peters.
