Rep. Mike Thompson, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing California’s 4th district, has recently shared several updates and concerns via social media. Thompson, who succeeded Frank Riggs in 1999, continues to engage with his constituents on pressing issues.

On March 12, 2025, Rep. Thompson announced that his team would be hosting "in-person office hours today, March 12th, from 11am to 1pm" for Winters residents. He encouraged community members to drop by to discuss any support they might need and indicated that more sessions would be held throughout the district.

Later that day, he expressed concern over potential Republican cuts to Medicaid in a tweet at 16:16 UTC. He warned that such cuts could force hospitals to reduce services or shut down entirely, impacting care for everyone in the community. He highlighted the risk faced by "241,000 patients and $2 billion in economic impact" within his district.

On March 13, 2025, Rep. Thompson addressed broader healthcare and social security issues through another post at 14:45 UTC. He stated that "The American people did not vote to gut Medicare and Medicaid," urging Ways and Means Democrats' resolution demanding answers from the Administration regarding these concerns.
