Larry Chimbole (May 22, 1919 – November 10, 2015) was a United States Army veteran of World War II, California politician, and a member of the Democratic party.
A city councilman and then mayor of Palmdale, Chimbole won election to the California State Assembly in 1974 by defeating Republican Kenneth Hall, then chief deputy director of the California Department of Finance. In 1976 he narrowly defeated Republican Phil Wyman, vice president of the Antelope Valley Board of Trade. In 1978, however, Wyman came back to beat Chimbole.[1]
From 1996 to 2000 Chimbole was a member of the Antelope Valley Hospital District Board.
The Larry Chimbole Cultural Center is located in Palmdale, California.[2] Chimbole died November 10, 2015.[3]
