112th Congress

More than 100 veterans and their family members came to the Veterans Resource Fair at American Canyon High School Theater on Monday looking for help on a variety of issues, including post-traumatic stress disorder, joblessness, homelessness and education.

Calls decision a 'victory for all Americans.'

Congressman Mike Thompson (CA-1) today released the following statement following the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling that the Affordable Care Act is constitutional:

At least 60,000 Sonoma County residents who currently have no health insurance could soon benefit from the U.S. Supreme Court's decision Thursday to uphold the bulk of President Obama's health care law, local health officials said.

Value versus price is an ongoing question in the appraisal business and seems to be an equally popular debate in land conservation. When appraising equipment, I often refer to Warren Buffet's famous quote, "Price is what you pay; value is what you get." The same holds true for open lands.

The June 19 letter titled “Conservation area spells disaster for Lake Berryessa” is misleading and false.

The letter suggests that motorboat access and recreation would be negatively impacted if my bill becomes law. This could not be further from the truth. Nothing in the legislation would impact motorboat use. Any suggestion otherwise is untrue.

Twelve northern California lawmakers called on Obama administration officials Friday to delay the "imminent announcement" of what they described as an an "expensive and potentially damaging water diversion project" until more details of the plan are made available.

Dear Friend,

Congressman George Miller and I are hosting a Veterans Resource Fair this Monday at American Canyon High School. Please join us and hear from and meet with representatives from local VA Medical Centers, the VA Oakland Regional Office, and other federal agencies that offer services and benefits to veterans!
