As your representative, my team and I work around the clock to ensure Fourth District residents have access to relevant services and resources.

My team is hosting office hours this Tuesday, Sept. 10, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the City Council chambers at Lakeport City Hall, 225 Park St., for residents to drop in and discuss any support you may need.

Our services include agency assistance to help residents navigate the complex federal agency system, including assistance working with the Social Security Administration, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the IRS or any other federal agency.

I also offer nominations for qualified high school seniors looking to serve their country by enrolling in one of our military academies. These include nominations for appointment to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York; the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland; the U.S. Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, Colorado; and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, New York.

As a combat Vietnam veteran, I am committed to helping my fellow veterans get the benefits and health care they deserve. My office can support service members and veterans and their survivors in accessing the benefits they are owed.

Constituents of California's Fourth Congressional District can also order a United States flag through my Washington, D.C. office. And to anyone planning a visit to Washington, my Washington office can help arrange a tour of many of the city’s most popular attractions.

If you are in need of support, consider attending my team’s office hours this Sept. 10 or contact my nearest office: Napa, 707-226-9898; Santa Rosa, 707-542-7182; Woodland, 530-753-5301; or Washington, D.C., 202-225-3311.

Congressman Mike Thompson represents California’s Fourth Congressional District, which includes all or part of Lake, Napa, Solano, Sonoma and Yolo counties.
