He took $445,000 from Big Oil and Big Tobacco — then voted their way. Now he wants to control California's tax system. How can we trust him with our money?
The California Board of Equalization oversees tens of billions of dollars in property taxes, sales taxes, and excise taxes collected from California residents and businesses every year. It sets policy that directly affects the oil and tobacco industries — the exact industries that have been funding Mike Gipson's career for two decades.
Different party. Same playbook. Gipson and Trump share one defining trait: both put their donors first and the public last — and used office to line their own pockets along the way.
"California voters rejected the Trump model of self-dealing and donor-first governance. Why would we hand our property tax system to someone who's been running that exact model in Sacramento for fifteen years?"
Since 2007, Gipson has accepted $8.7 million in political contributions. Among his largest donors: the very oil and tobacco companies he was supposed to hold accountable. The numbers tell the story.
"He's taken more from Big Oil than almost any Democrat in the Assembly — and his votes show exactly why they kept writing the checks."
"Taking a walk" means a legislator is present before and after a vote — but deliberately disappears to avoid taking a stance. It is a known act of political cowardice, and it is exactly how Gipson has protected his oil donors while avoiding accountability to voters.
On the first floor vote for California's landmark climate bill, Gipson disappeared. The oil industry spent a record $22 million lobbying Sacramento that year to kill bills like this. Opposed by WSPA and CIPA — both Gipson donors.
[Source: Assembly Daily Journal, September 8, 2015; CalMatters]Gipson walked on the full version requiring a 50% cut in petroleum use by 2030. After oil lobbyists gutted that clause, he voted for the watered-down version. He only backed it when it was safe for his donors.
[Source: Assembly Daily Journal, September 4 & 11, 2015]Companion bill to SB 32 that added legislative oversight to climate policy and required online disclosure of oil facility greenhouse gas emissions. Gipson walked. Bill still passed and was signed into law.
[Source: Assembly Daily Journal, August 24, 2016]Bill doubled minimum and maximum daily penalties against oil companies causing spills — from $5K/$500K to $10K/$1M. Gipson walked. Opposed by WSPA and CIPA. Signed into law regardless.
[Source: Assembly Daily Journal, August 31, 2020]Required oil companies to plug end-of-life wells in LA County or face $10,000/month fines. Targeted the Inglewood oil field — in Gipson's own backyard. He walked. Donors WSPA and CIPA opposed the bill.
[Source: Assembly Daily Journal, August 31, 2024]Bill giving cities and counties the power to limit or ban oil and gas drilling in their jurisdictions. Gipson walked. Opposed by WSPA and CIPA.
[Source: Assembly Daily Journal, August 31, 2024]Gipson voted for a bill expanding oil drilling in Kern County via blanket environmental approvals. Environmentalists called it antithetical to California's climate goals. His donors CIPA and Berry Petroleum supported the bill.
[Source: Assembly Daily Journal, September 13, 2025]Would have banned new drilling infrastructure on federal leases and required local approval for offshore projects. Gipson voted against it. Opposed by his donors WSPA and CIPA.
[Source: Assembly Daily Journal, June 4, 2025]"Behested payments" are donations a politician directs their donors to make — to charities or causes of the official's choosing. It's a well-known mechanism for keeping cash out of the official campaign finance record while still rewarding donors. Gipson directed over $91,000 this way — then was fined $1,800 by the FPPC for failing to report nine of them on time.
Multiple payments to Challenging Minds, YMCA, and Long Beach Public Library Foundation at Gipson's direction — 2020–2025.
$10,000 to R.M. Pyles Boys Camp; $6,000 to the Council of State Governments West Annual Conference — at Gipson's behest.
Payments to Challenging Minds, 2023–2024, at Gipson's request.
Three oil companies each made $5,000 payments to Challenging Minds for Gipson's Community Swearing-In Ceremony, Feb–Mar 2023.
Directed to Murdock Community and Care Services scholarship fund — October 2025.
Gipson fined $1,800 by the FPPC for failing to timely report nine of these payments in 2023. Source: FPPC Stipulation, August 2024.
Gipson has spent $7.75 million in campaign funds since 2013. Mixed in with legitimate expenses: a documented pattern of spending on cigars, fine dining, luxury travel, and limousines — all charged to accounts funded by the very industries he was supposed to regulate.
Gipson dismissed a political opponent by pointing out she wasn't born in the United States — using her immigrant identity as a disqualifier. In a district that is majority immigrant and Latino, this was a deliberate act of othering.
[Source: forthe.org]The oil and energy companies funding Gipson's campaigns have documented records of wage violations disproportionately targeting undocumented and immigrant workers. He took their money — and protected them from accountability with walk after walk.
[Source: CA Secretary of State campaign finance disclosures; FPPC filings]Trump weaponized immigrant identity to divide communities and distract from his record of serving corporate donors. Gipson deployed the same tactic — dismissing an opponent with "she's not from this country" while pocketing checks from industries that exploit immigrant labor.
The Board of Equalization has direct jurisdiction over the taxes paid by thousands of immigrant-owned small businesses across California. Gipson's record says he'll serve donors — not families.
[Source: California BOE jurisdiction; Gipson public record]He took $445,000 from Big Oil and Big Tobacco. He walked on bill after bill to protect them. He spent campaign money on cigars and limos. He dismissed an immigrant opponent with "she's not from this country." The Board of Equalization oversees YOUR tax dollars. Mike Gipson can't be trusted with that responsibility.
