A Vietnam combat veteran and former winery worker and vineyard owner, he served in the California State Senate before winning his House seat, and he sits on the Ways and Means Committee. His official biography describes his legislative focus as lowering costs for families, gun violence prevention, clean energy and health care.[1][2]

Basic profile — the most important sourced facts we found.

Thompson was born and raised in St. Helena, California, in a working-class family; his official biography says he is the grandson of Italian immigrants. Ballotpedia gives his birth year as 1951.[1][2] His official biography says he dropped out of high school to enlist in the U.S. Army, and Ballotpedia lists his service as 1969 to 1972. According to the biography, he served in combat in the Vietnam War as a staff sergeant and platoon leader with the 173rd Airborne Brigade, was wounded in action and awarded the Purple Heart, and afterward trained others as an instructor at the Army's Airborne School.[1][2] After returning home he worked as a maintenance supervisor at Beringer Winery, then used the GI Bill to become the first in his family to earn a college degree.

Thompson's earlier work included time as a professor and winery owner, according to Ballotpedia, while his official biography describes him as a small vineyard owner.[2][1] He served in the California State Senate from 1990 to 1998, representing the 2nd District and chairing the Budget Committee, and his office says he was the first Vietnam veteran elected to that chamber.[2][1] He was elected to the U.S. House in 1998 and took office in January 1999, first representing the 1st District and now the 4th.[37][2]

In Congress, Thompson serves on the Ways and Means Committee, where he is Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Tax and a senior member of the Health Subcommittee.[1] After the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, he was appointed chair of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force. He co-founded and co-chairs the bipartisan Congressional Wine Caucus, co-chairs the bipartisan Military Veterans Caucus, and is a member of the Blue Dog Coalition; he has also received the Sierra Club's Edgar Wayburn Award.[1] According to his official biography, he is married to Janet Thompson, a family nurse practitioner, and they have two sons and three granddaughters.[1]
