Tom Umberg
Democrat for State Board of Equalization
Tom Umberg will bring accountability to California’s tax system

Tom Umberg spent his career convicting corrupt politicians, protecting working families from corporate fraud, and building a business from the ground up.

Now he’s running for the Board of Equalization to bring that same accountability to California’s tax system.

Small Businessman

Co-founded one of California’s top boutique litigation firms.

Federal Prosecutor

100% conviction rate. Tried over 100 cases including white-collar crime, government fraud, and corporate misconduct.

State Senator

Authored campaign finance reform, consumer protections, and taxpayer fairness laws.

Retired Army Colonel

Three overseas tours. Led anti-corruption operations in Afghanistan. Awarded the Bronze Star.

Accountability You Can Trust. Leadership that Delivers.

The State Board of Equalization touches the life of every Californian. It oversees property tax assessments for homeowners across our region. It ensures utilities and major corporations are assessed accurately, so local communities get every dollar they’re owed. It administers the alcohol and insurance tax. Done right, it protects public education, public safety, and the services families depend on. Done poorly, it shortchanges communities and lets powerful interests off the hook.

Tom Umberg has spent his career doing exactly what the BOE demands: holding powerful institutions accountable, protecting public funds from fraud and abuse, and enforcing the law without fear or favor.
