He represents the 7th West Virginia Senate District based in Logan County. Tomblin is a member of the Democratic Party. Recent legislation has also given him the title of Lieutenant Governor of West Virginia, but the state constitution still makes no mention of the office and the honorfic is rarely used outside of formal occasions.

He is the longest serving Senate President in West Virginia's history. Tomblin became the first Lieutenant Governor of West Virginia in the state's history in 2000.
Sen. Tomblin is the son of Earl Tomblin and Freda Jarrell Tomblin. He received a Bachelor of Science degree from West Virginia University and a Master of Business Administration degree from Marshall University.
