North Bay Congressman: I'm Busy Combatting 'Trump's Unlawful Actions'

NORTH BAY, CA — Some 200 people attended a recent "Coffee With Our Congressman" event hosted by U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson in Vacaville.

The community event held March 17 at Journey Downtown was an opportunity for constituents to meet their Congressional representative and ask him questions about the latest news out of Washington, D.C., the congressman said.

"... Residents from both parties showed up and it was clear from the beginning that many residents are concerned about the chaos coming out of the Administration," said Thompson, a Democrat from St. Helena. "As your Congressman, I’m working to fight back against the President’s unlawful actions in Congress, in the courts, and in the court of public opinion."

It was one in a series of community events throughout the Fourth District which encompasses much of Lake, Napa, Solano, Sonoma and Yolo counties. Similar events were held March 19 in Sonoma and March 21 in Middletown.

"Thank you to the over 200 community members who attended Monday’s event, and the countless more who have written me, called my office, and raised their voices against this administration’s unlawful and unethical actions," Thompson said. "There’s a reason that Republican leaders are urging their party not to hold town halls. Americans are rightfully angry over threats to their personal data, health care, veterans’ services, Social Security, and more. The President and his party are losing in the court of public opinion."

Thompson provided this update on his recent actions.
