Todd Rex Gloria (born May 10, 1978) is an American politician serving in the California State Assembly. A Democrat, he represents the 78th Assembly District, which encompasses much of San Diego.
Prior to his election to the Assembly in 2016, Gloria served as the interim Mayor of San Diego after the resignation of former mayor Bob Filner in August 2013. His term as interim mayor concluded on March 3, 2014, when Mayor Kevin Faulconer was sworn in. In addition to serving as interim mayor, Gloria served as a San Diego City Councilmember representing District 3. He also served as president of the nine-member Council from 2012 through 2014.
Gloria is a third generation San Diegan, all four of his grandparents having moved to San Diego because of their involvement with the military. He has described his ethnic background in an interview as being: "[b]asically half Native American (Tlingit-Haida, an Alaskan tribe), a quarter Filipino and then a little bit of Dutch and Puerto Rican."
He grew up in the Clairemont neighborhood and attended Madison High School. He was interested in politics from childhood. At age 10 he was runner-up in a "mayor for a day" contest. At 14 he volunteered to work for Democratic candidates in the 1992 election.
Gloria graduated summa cum laude from the University of San Diego, with majors in history and political science. While a student at USD, Gloria was active in the effort to add "sexual orientation" to the campus nondiscrimination policy.
