==Early political career==
[[File:Mike Thompson, 1997.jpg|thumb|left|Thompson as a member of the [[California State Senate]] in 1997.|upright]]
Thompson served as an aide to [[Jackie Speier]] (then a [[California State Assembly|state assemblywoman]]) before winning election to the [[California State Senate]] in 1990. He unseated [[California's 4th State Senate district|4th District]] incumbent [[Jim Nielsen]] after a controversy over Nielsen's primary residence;<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.newsreview.com/chico/Content?oid=654749 |title=Is Nielsen fudging again? |date=2008-04-17 |access-date=2008-12-12 |publisher=[[News & Review|Chico News & Review]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.newsreview.com/chico/Content?oid=667938 |title=Semi-super Tuesday |date=2008-05-29 |access-date=2008-12-12 |publisher=[[News & Review|Chico News & Review]]}}</ref> Thompson's margin of victory was less than 1%.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/sov/90_gen_sov.pdf |title=Statement of Vote - General Election November 6, 1990 |date=1990-10-09 |access-date=2008-12-12 |publisher=[[Secretary of State of California|California Secretary of State]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080730220109/http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/sov/90_gen_sov.pdf |archive-date=July 30, 2008 |url-status=dead }} Under "Fourth Senatorial District" on 40th page of this PDF file.</ref>

After the 1992 general election, State Senator [[Barry Keene]] of the neighboring [[California's 2nd State Senate district|2nd District]] resigned. Thompson, whose hometown of St. Helena had shifted from the 4th District into the 2nd after [[reapportionment]], ran in the 1993 [[special election]] for Keene's seat. He narrowly beat Republican businesswoman Margie Handley and was elected to a full term in 1994.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/sov/1994_general/sov_94_gen_complete.pdf |title=Statement of Vote - November 8, 1994 General Election |date=1994-12-16 |access-date=2008-12-12 |publisher=[[Secretary of State of California|California Secretary of State]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080730213903/http://www.sos.ca.gov/elections/sov/1994_general/sov_94_gen_complete.pdf |archive-date=July 30, 2008 |url-status=dead }} Under "2nd State Senate District" on 69th page of this PDF file.</ref>

National Democrats approached Thompson about running for Congress in 1996 against freshman Republican [[Frank Riggs]].{{Citation needed|date=December 2020}} Thompson's state Senate district was virtually coextensive with the congressional district. Thompson declined, believing his Senate [[seniority]] would be more beneficial to his district than would his being a [[freshman]] U.S. congressman.{{Citation needed|date=December 2020}} But in 1998, Thompson was due to be termed out of the state Senate, and opted to run for Congress. Riggs did not seek reelection to his House seat and made an unsuccessful bid for the [[United States Senate]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/campaigns/junkie/archive/junkie110298.htm |title=Political Junkie |author=Ken Rudin |date=1998-11-02 |access-date=2008-12-12 |newspaper=[[The Washington Post|Washingtonpost.com]]}}</ref> Thompson was elected by almost a 30% margin<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=California's 1st Congressional District|url=https://ballotpedia.org/California%27s_1st_Congressional_District|access-date=2020-12-17|website=Ballotpedia|language=en}}</ref> and has been reelected ever since without substantive opposition,<ref name=":0" /> turning what was a swing district for most of the 1980s and '90s into a fairly safe Democratic seat.{{Citation needed|date=December 2020}}

For his first seven terms, Thompson represented a district stretching from the far northern part of the [[San Francisco Bay Area]] all the way to the [[North Coast (California)|North Coast]]. But after the 2010 census, his district was renumbered as the 5th and made somewhat more compact, losing most of its northern part to the [[California's 2nd congressional district|2nd District]].{{Citation needed|date=December 2020}}

===Political positions===
====Abortion====
Thompson is a [[Roman Catholic Church|Roman Catholic]],<ref name=votesmart /> but is [[Abortion-rights movement|pro-choice]]. In May 2004, he and 47 other Catholic Democratic members of Congress sent a letter to [[Cardinal (Catholicism)|Cardinal]] [[Theodore McCarrick]] of [[Washington, D.C.]], to dissuade him from refusing to administer [[Eucharist in the Catholic Church|Holy Communion]] to Catholic members who voted in favor of pro-choice legislation.<ref name=CNN-2004-05-21>{{cite news |url=http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/05/20/catholic.legislators/ |title=Legislators protest communion recommendation |access-date=2008-12-16 |date=2004-05-21 |publisher= [[CNN]].com}}</ref> In February 2006, Thompson was one of 55 Democratic U.S. representatives identifying as Catholic who signed a "Statement of Principles" that affirmed a commitment to their faith but acknowledged opposition to Catholic doctrine on some issues. They wrote that on those issues, such as [[abortion rights]], they would follow their conscience instead of the [[Dogma (Roman Catholic)|church's teachings]].<ref>

In March 2012, Thompson and state Assemblyman [[Jared Huffman]] voiced their opposition to a piece of water legislation that the House would be voting on, which Thompson argued would "kill local jobs, ignore 20 years of established science and overturn a century of California water law."<ref name="20 years">{{cite news|title=GUEST OPINION: House bill would turn back environmental law clock 20 years|url=http://www.watchsonomacounty.com/2012/03/sacramento/guest-opinion-house-bill-would-turn-back-environmental-law-clock-20-years/|newspaper=The Press Democrat|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120613055005/http://www.watchsonomacounty.com/2012/03/sacramento/guest-opinion-house-bill-would-turn-back-environmental-law-clock-20-years/|archive-date=2012-06-13}}</ref>

====Foreign policy====
In late 2002, Thompson joined Representatives [[Jim McDermott]] and [[David Bonior]] on a fact-finding trip to [[Iraq]].

On March 26, 2008, Muthanna Al-Hanooti, an official of a [[Michigan]] [[Charitable organization|charity]], was accused of underwriting three members of Congress to travel to [[Iraq]] on behalf of Iraqi intelligence officials. McDermott's office was already organizing the trip when the charity offered to pay the trip expenses. McDermott's spokesman claimed the charity was fully vetted by the U.S. government. He also stated that the representatives obtained a license from the [[State Department]]'s [[Office of Foreign Assets Control]] for the group to travel to Iraq.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/politics/2004311506_mcdermott28m.html |title=The story behind McDermott's controversial Iraq trip |access-date=2008-12-15 |author=David Postman |date=2008-03-28 |publisher= [[The Seattle Times]]}}</ref>
