Rep. Mike Thompson, a U.S. Congressman representing California’s 4th district since 1999, recently addressed several political issues in a series of posts on his social media account.
On January 21, 2026, Thompson commented on recent protests within his district, stating, “Communities all over our district came out to protest for a #FreeAmerica yesterday. We had hundreds of people come to our district offices to demand this president and his administration be held accountable. Thank you for staying involved and making your voices heard!”
Later that day, he addressed the topic of pregnancy centers supported by Congressional Republicans. In his post from January 21, 2026, he wrote: “The pregnancy centers that Congressional Republicans want to fund are not licensed medical facilities and do not provide comprehensive medical care. We should be investing in programs that ensure women receive the full, evidence-based care they need, not funneling taxpayer”.
In another post from January 21, 2026, Thompson marked the anniversary of a landmark Supreme Court decision by stating: “It’s been sixteen years since the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision opened the floodgates to allow the wealthy to have an outsized influence in our political system. I have always supported overturning that decision.”
Mike Thompson was born in St Helena, California in 1951 and continues to reside there at age 72. He graduated from California State University, Chico with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1982.
The Citizens United v. FEC ruling referenced by Thompson has been widely debated for its impact on campaign finance laws and political spending in the United States.
