Summary
Sally J. Lieber (born April 24, 1961) is an American politician from the state of California who has served as a member of the California State Board of Equalization since 2023. She was previously a member of the Mountain View City Council and the California State Assembly. She represented the 22nd Assembly District that includes the cities of Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Cupertino and portions of Santa Clara and San Jose which are all located in Santa Clara County. In February 2022, Assemblywoman Lieber was endorsed by the California State Democratic Party for Board Member of the California State Board of Equalization, District 2. She won the seat in the California general election held on November 8, 2022.
Lieber held the office of Speaker pro Tempore in the 2007-2008 legislative session. In the November 7, 2006 general election she was re-elected to her third and final term in the assembly, beating her Republican opponent Roger Riffenburgh by 68.8% to 31.2%. In 2008, she was term-limited out of the office.
Lieber currently serves as an advisor to the San Francisco Bay Restoration Authority, an agency that was created through her legislation, and served on Attorney General Kamala Harris' transition team working on women's rehabilitation and mental health.
Lieber was born in Detroit, Michigan on April 24, 1961. As a youth growing up in the 1960s and 1970s, she was interested in the antiwar and civil rights movements.
After graduating from high school, Lieber worked restoring Victorian houses and specialized in hanging historical wallpapers. She spent 10 years at this job. As she hung wallpaper, Lieber's interest in politics grew as she listened to NPR and this encouraged Lieber to return to school.
In her late 20s, she began taking night classes at San Francisco City College. In 1992, she met her husband David Phillips. The two ran into each other at Burning Man, an arts festival held every year in the Nevada desert.
After they married in 1993, Lieber moved to the peninsula and transferred to Foothill College, where she started going to school full-time and became involved in student government.
