Members of the Calderon political dynasty

Ronald Calderon, 56, is a California state senator and former assemblyman from Montebello, Calif. He won his first seat in the state Assembly in 2002 and was elected to the state Senate four years later. In the Senate, Calderon chairs the Insurance Committee and the Select Committee on Film and Television Industries. He is also a member of the California Film Commission and served as vice chair of the California Latino Legislative Caucus from December 2010 until December 2012.

Thomas Calderon, 59, is a former California assemblyman from Montebello, Calif. He won his first seat in the Assembly in 1998. Calderon became chairman of the powerful Insurance Committee in 2000 and ran unsuccessfully for state insurance commissioner in 2002. He now heads a political consulting firm, Calderon Group. According to an FBI affidavit, he controls Californians for Diversity, a nonprofit linked to the California Latino Legislative Caucus.

Charles “Chuck” Calderon, 63, is the patriarch of the Calderon political dynasty. A former prosecutor with the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office, he won his first Assembly seat, representing Whittier, Calif., in 1982. He later led an unsuccessful challenge to Speaker Willie Brown. Calderon was elected to California's Senate in 1990, later becoming majority leader. In 1998, Calderon left due to term limits and ran unsuccessfully for state attorney general. He was re-elected to the Assembly in 2006 and became majority leader in 2011 – the first politician to serve in that position in California’s Assembly and Senate. In 2012, term limits prevented Calderon from running for re-election to the Assembly.

Ian Calderon, 28, the son of Charles Calderon, followed his family into politics. In 2012, after working for a surf and sportswear company and failing in an effort to produce a reality TV show called “Surf Stars,” Calderon won a seat in the state Assembly, representing Whittier.
