Thompson

Thompson has spent years focused on a few core fights. Each is tied to bills actually introduced or votes actually cast.

• 01
  Supports expanded federal background checks for firearmsThompson sponsored HR.18, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2025, which would extend federal background check requirements to a broader set of firearm transfers. The bill has drawn more than 200 cosponsors. Thompson chairs the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force and also sponsored HCONRES.46, a concurrent resolution expressing congressional commitment to federal responsibilities in this area.
• 02
  Supports expanded telehealth coverage accessThompson sponsored the CONNECT for Health Act of 2025 (HR.4206), a bill that would expand Medicare coverage of telehealth services. The legislation has attracted more than 200 cosponsors and is a reintroduction of a prior-Congress version (HR.4189), which Thompson also sponsored. The recurring sponsorship reflects a sustained focus on telehealth as a component of health care delivery.
• 03
  Supports energy independence and affordability measuresThompson sponsored the American Energy Independence and Affordability Act (HR.5862), a bill addressing domestic energy policy. The legislation attracted between 100 and 199 cosponsors. The bill's title and cosponsorship breadth indicate focus on both energy supply and consumer cost considerations within the energy sector.
• 04
  Supports disaster insurance coverage and agricultural reliefThompson sponsored the Disaster Resiliency and Coverage Act of 2025 (HR.1105), addressing insurance coverage in areas affected by disasters, and the Agricultural Emergency Relief Act of 2025 (HR.4354), providing relief mechanisms for agricultural emergencies. Both bills are reintroductions, and HR.1105 attracted 50 to 99 cosponsors. Thompson's district includes agricultural regions in Napa, Lake, and Sonoma counties.
• 05
  Supports federal funding for mental health and smoke researchThompson sponsored the Mental Health Research Accelerator Act of 2025 (HR.2085) and the Smoke Exposure Research Act of 2025 (HR.2084), both reintroduced measures directing federal resources toward medical research. The Smoke Exposure Research Act is relevant to constituencies in California's wildfire-affected northern regions, and both bills reflect an orientation toward federally funded health research programs.
