Rep. Mike Thompson, who represents California’s 4th district in the U.S. Congress, recently addressed several key issues on his social media account, including immigration reform for military personnel, election integrity, and local agricultural support.
On February 9, 2026, Thompson advocated for a pathway to citizenship for non-citizen servicemembers in the armed forces. He stated: “Thousands of servicemembers currently enlisted in our armed services are non-citizens. They’re putting their lives on the line for our country, and they should have a pathway to citizenship. That’s why I introduced the Support and Defend our Military Personnel and Their Families” (posted at 17:01 UTC).
Later that day, Thompson commented on proposed changes to election laws with concerns about voter access: “Our elections are key to our democracy. The SAVE Act would make it harder for registered, legal voters to vote. At a time when the president is talking about nationalizing elections, we must protect our democracy and every voter’s choice.” (posted at 18:00 UTC).
He also recognized local community efforts by congratulating an agricultural organization: “Congratulations to the @SonomaFB on another successful crab feed. Grateful for the work they do funding scholarships, agricultural education, advocacy programs and ongoing support of agriculture in our community.” (posted at 21:00 UTC).
Mike Thompson has served as a member of Congress since 1999 after succeeding Frank Riggs and is currently based in St. Helena, California. Born in St Helena in 1951 and now aged 72, he earned his BA from California State University, Chico in 1982.
