Earlier this week, Congressman Mike Thompson was sworn in as a Member of the United States House of Representatives by the Speaker of the House.

“It’s the honor of my life to serve the people of the community where I was born, grew up, raised my own family, and live today,” Thompson stated in a press release sent out Thursday. “Over the next two years, my priority will remain the same: To deliver for the constituents of the 4th District. That includes working to lower costs, improve community safety, fight climate change, and protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.”

Thompson was elected to serve as the representative of California’s 4th Congressional District, which includes all or part of Lake, Napa, Solano, Sonoma and Yolo counties.
