NAPA, CA (MPG) – U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson announced he will run for re-election in the newly numbered Fourth Congressional District. The district includes all of Lake and Napa Counties and portions of Solano, Sonoma and Yolo Counties.

“I was born, grew up and have lived my entire life in the newly numbered Fourth Congressional District. The outpouring of support I’ve received is humbling and I’m looking forward to working with state and local leaders on the challenges we face,” said Rep. Mike Thompson.

Thompson has represented all of the newly drawn and numbered Fourth Congressional District in the past. As a senior Member of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, he is well-positioned to deliver for his district. He has been endorsed by sheriffs, supervisors, mayors, councilmembers and other community leaders from all five counties in the newly numbered Fourth Congressional District.

“Excited that Congressman Mike Thompson will be representing a larger portion of Solano County again,” said Solano County Supervisor John M. Vasquez. “He has always been a friend to Solano County. He knows the issues that are unique to agriculture, transportation and our military, as Solano County is home to Travis Air Force Base. As a decorated war veteran, he certainly understands the issues of the veterans we serve here. I have worked with Mike over the years as he has represented different areas of our county as a state Senator and congressman and I am honored to be working more closely with him under the newly formed congressional boundary.”

“I have worked with Congressman Mike Thompson throughout his time serving Solano County in the State Senate and Congress,” said Solano County Supervisor Jim Spering. “He knows our area well and has been a fierce advocate for our issues, including being a champion for critical infrastructure projects for Solano County.”

“Mike Thompson knows Vacaville, understands our issues and has a proven track record of delivering for Solano County.  He is a bipartisan problem solver, and I am glad to have him back as our representative,” said Vacaville Mayor Ron Rowlett.

“Congressman Thompson is a trusted voice in our community,” said Caitlin O’Halloran President, Dixon Unified School District Governing Board. “He supports career and technical education and is helping to make college affordable. He will continue to work hard for our students and for their future.”

“I consider it the honor of my life to represent our region in Congress. I will work hard to represent our district and I am honored to have the support of so many local leaders,” said Rep. Mike Thompson.
