Proud to have the endorsement of @public_citizen for my American Energy Independence and Affordability Act. Glad to be working with @reprichardneal to lead the fight to restore critical climate provisions. This bill restores key provisions from the Inflation Reduction Act to ensure America continues leading the transition to clean, affordable, and reliable energy.
Team Thompson is always ready to help our constituents! Hear from Alicia from Solano County about how we were able to help her secure Supplemental Security Income for her daughter.
Proud to have the support of @usmayors for my American Affordability Act. My American Affordability Act lowers housing costs by strengthening the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit, delivering tax credits for first-time homebuyers and renters, increasing the capital gains tax exclusion to help long-term homeowners downsize, and incentivizing the conversion of vacant offices and commercial buildings into housing to increase supply. Ninety-three percent of mayors listed housing as their primary affordability concern, and this bill is how we bring those costs down.
The Asian Pacific American Public Affairs Association recently celebrated 25 years of working to uplift Asian American and Pacific Islander communities through public service, education, advocacy, and leadership development. Thank you for your twenty-five years of service to our community!
Congratulations, 10,000 Degrees, on a successful Change Makers Celebration! You do fantastic work supporting talented students from low-income backgrounds by helping them get into college, succeed while there, and launch meaningful careers.
Recently, suspicious envelopes containing white powder have been mailed to Congressional offices across our country. Today, my office received one.
My team is trained to handle suspicious mail safely and I am relieved to report no one was hurt. Once my staff member identified the suspicious envelope, he did not open it and he alerted authorities immediately. Thank you to our local law enforcement and first responders who arrived on scene, including Napa County Fire Chief JC Greenberg, City of Napa Fire Chief Zach Curren, HazMat specialists with the Napa Interagency Hazardous Incident Team, and members of the Napa County Sheriff’s Office, Napa County Emergency Medical Services, and CalFire. The case has now been turned over to the FBI.
Political violence has no place in our democracy. This attempt to intimidate public servants and our staff will not succeed. Team Thompson will continue to do our jobs and serve the people of California’s Fourth District with pride.
Thank you, Adams Seed and Grain, for giving me a tour of your processing plant. Adams is a fifth-generation, family-owned food company that has been based in and providing food for our Woodland community for over 100 years!
Always fun to join the Napa County Bicycle Coalition for a ride through our beautiful district. Thank you, Napa County Bicycle Coalition, for all your work building better bicycling infrastructure in Napa. Honored to help support your efforts in Congress by having secured $4,850,000 for the Napa Valley Vine Trail.
Today marks 54 years of the Clean Water Act. This landmark legislation helps prevent pollution in our water, ensures safe drinking water for all, and preserves our natural resources for generations to come.
Congratulations Napa Valley CanDo on ten years of fighting hunger in Napa. Napa Valley CanDo's work has provided 99,276 meals to members of our community this year, and the organization is continuing to work to grow and scale its capabilities.
Our national wildlife refuges play a vital role in protecting wildlife and preserving America’s natural heritage. That’s why I joined @robwittman to introduce a resolution to designate the week of October 10 as National Wildlife Refuge Week. Wildlife refuges give Americans opportunities to enjoy hunting, fishing, and wildlife observation, and this week acknowledges the importance of these public lands and the need to conserve them for future generations.
Thank you, Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, for meeting with me to discuss issues impacting our small business community. It was great to tour the “Business One Stop Shop” opening soon for entrepreneurs to receive all the help and resources they need to start their own businesses.
Excited to have gotten the chance to stop by @landwatercoffee, a local coffee roaster and café in Santa Rosa. Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and I’ll keep fighting to ensure they have the support they need to thrive.
As a veteran, I know the decision to serve your country is one of the most solemn decisions you can make. Thank you to everyone who came to my U.S. Military Academies Information Night to learn about the service academies nominations process, and good luck with your upcoming applications!
Weren’t able to make the event but still interested in applying? Applications are still open through October 19th apply here: https://t.co/5YQ4B5bzZD
Nidal Hasan committed a heinous crime against U.S servicemembers and his victims and their families deserve justice. That does not mean that his execution should be a public spectacle. I spoke out against this idea. It’s the right choice that this administration listened to the public and canceled its plans to livestream this execution.
Ukrainians are dying because this administration directed Elon Musk to turn off the Starlink satellite system which helps Ukraine fight back against Russia. Mr. President, stop interfering with Ukraine’s fight for their freedom, stop funding Russia's war machine, and start sanctioning Russia.
