Tom Umberg Provides Opportunity through Education

Honored by educators for his work to improve education and make schools
safe, Tom Umberg will bring a strong record of educational advocacy to

construction and renovation and more affordable colleges. Tom enacted
may school safety laws, including stiffer penalties for selling drugs and
committing gang-related felonies on school grounds.

Boards Association, Umberg is endorsed by the California Teachers
Association, the California School Employees Association, the California
Faculty Association, and the United Teachers of Los Angeles.
