From the Desk of Rep Mike Thompson
Join me this Saturday, March 7, at 4:30 PM at Heritage Plaza in Woodland for a day of action to say NO FOREVER WARS.
As veterans and members of our community speak out, Rep. Thompson will call for Congress to assert its constitutional authority and prevent another endless conflict that puts American service members at risk without a clear strategy or authorization.
With American troops already killed and wounded in Iran and billions of taxpayer dollars being spent, this is a critical moment to demand accountability and ensure we don’t repeat the mistakes of the past.
WHO: Rep. Mike Thompson, Local veterans and other leaders
WHAT: Woodland "NO FOREVER WARS" Day of Action
WHEN: Saturday, March 7th, 4:30 PM PT
WHERE: Heritage Plaza, 701 Main St, Woodland, CA 95695

2026 California Primary Election
2026 primary elections is one of the simplest and most powerful ways to shape the future of our community. Primaries decide who makes it onto the ballot in November, which means your voice matters before the big election even begins.
By showing up and casting a vote, you help choose the leaders and ideas that best reflect your values, strengthen democracy, and keep our system accountable. If you want change—or want to protect what matters to you—this is where it starts.
Primary Election Date
June 2, 2026 — California’s statewide primary, conducted under the state’s nonpartisan “top‑two” system.
