Tom Patti

Tom Patti was overwhelmingly elected to the County Board of Supervisors, District 3, in 2016. Supervisor Patti recognizes the challenges facing San Joaquin County, and the need for transformative leadership to change the trajectory of our community. To achieve this, he has focused on education, economic development, public safety — and tackling the connected issues of mental health, homelessness and caring for veterans.

As a second-generation local business owner, Tom recognizes that small businesses are the job creators of our community – the engine that drives our society. He is a member of the National Federation of Independent Business Owners, Stockton Builder’s Exchange, and the San Joaquin County Farm Bureau. Tom’s vision is smart economic growth, quality of life, safe clean streets and youth activity.

Patti graduated from local schools and attended Delta College - and previously sat on the Board of the Delta College Foundation, which helps expand education access for local students and their careers.

With a life-time passion for giving back, prior to being elected, Tom was active serving on the Child Abuse Prevention Council, March of Dimes and the Equal Employment Opportunity Advisory Committee. Supervisor Patti also served on the Board of Directors for Stockton Crime Stoppers. In 2015 Tom Patti had the honor of being selected by the African American Chamber as their “Man about Town” in recognition of his many local contributions.

In the 1980’s Tom won 5 different State and Golden Gloves amateur boxing titles. He briefly considered a professional boxing career while living in New York training with the legendary Cus D’Amato and future HW Champion Mike Tyson. As an entrepreneur, Tom returned to Stockton in 2001 and built his family business Delta Cranes into the premier crane company in the San Joaquin Valley.

As a father of his now teenage daughter Presley, Tom Patti is dedicated to improving the quality of life here in San Joaquin County, building an economy and community that we are all proud to call home.
