Umberg served in the Assembly from 1990 to 1994. He left the Legislature to make unsuccessful runs for state Attorney General in 1994 and for state Insurance Commissioner in 2002.His affair with Ann Wallace, who worked for him in the early 1990s, began in 2000 when Wallace and Umberg were working in Washington, D.C., according to e-mails.
On Nov. 24, two weeks after Umberg left Guantanamo for the last time, Wallace received an e-mail from Robin Umberg declaring that her husband had agreed to end their relationship.
In the e-mail, Robin Umberg wrote of her husband that "this supposedly wonderful man is a compulsive liar." She wrote of giving "110% working for his campaign and he establishes (an) affair. He really is a cruel man."
He sounds like a low-life. The affair is one thing, but the way he abused his wife in advance of his professional career is what really gets me (and which is what she seems to be alluding to in that quote). That stretches from any arguably private sphere into the public arena and is the decisive issue to me. His political career needs to be over.
