Thomas M. Calderon (born April 8, 1954) is an American Democratic politician from the state of California. He served in the California State Assembly from 1998 through 2002.[1] He retired from the State Assembly to run unsuccessfully for California insurance commissioner, a race in which he came in third in the Democratic primary.
In 2014, Calderon and his brother State Senator Ron Calderon were indicted for bribery.[2] In early June 2016, Calderon pleaded guilty to money laundering.[3] In September, he was sentenced to one year and one day, five months of which were to be served at home with electronic monitoring. In a statement, Calderon blamed his poor judgement on his wife's death saying that "had she been alive [he] would have never come anywhere near to taking the actions that [he] did."[4]
Calderon is from Montebello, California.
