Gerald A. "Jerry" Hill (born April 18, 1947) is an American politician currently serving in the California State Senate. A Democrat, he represents the 13th Senate District which encompasses the San Francisco Peninsula and portions of Silicon Valley.
Prior to being elected to the State Senate in 2012, Hill served in the California State Assembly representing the 19th Assembly District. Before serving in the Legislature, he was a member of the San Mateo City Council, where he served one term as Mayor, and the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors.
Born in San Francisco and raised in the Bay Area, Jerry Hill graduated from Balboa High School in San Francisco. Hill attended the University of California, Berkeley, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree after spending a year at the College of San Mateo. He later received a secondary teaching credential from San Francisco State University. Hill went to work with his father in the family's swimming pool business that he still owns and runs.
In the 1980s Hill became president of his local homeowner's association, which led him to joining the battle to prevent mid-rise buildings from being constructed in downtown San Mateo. In 1991, he led a successful campaign for a seat on the San Mateo City Council.
During Hill’s tenure on the San Mateo City Council he authored a City of San Mateo ordinance that regulated the sale of tobacco and restricted smoking in public places. While a member of the city council and as Mayor of San Mateo, Hill also served as a board member for San Mateo Transit District (SamTrans) and the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Authority (Caltrain). Hill served a term as mayor in 1994
