Throughout my time in public service, my number one priority has always been to bring results home and make a meaningful difference for the great people I have the privilege to represent. And to do that, I’ve always been willing to work with anyone, on any side of the aisle.
I see a similar commitment to bipartisan problem solving in Assemblymember Bill Dodd, and that’s why I’m proud to have endorsed him for the State Senate.

I have worked with Bill in a number of capacities over the years. We’ve worked together to tackle difficult challenges related to transportation, social services and the environment. In every instance, he has distinguished himself as someone who is willing to work with all members of our community to get things done.
He is fair, considers all sides of an issue, and bases his decisions on what's best for the people he serves, not on political ideology.
I have dedicated my life to public service. I see that same level of commitment in Bill Dodd. We can trust Bill to work hard to better our state and our district for our kids and grandkids. That's why I’m proud to support his candidacy for the State Senate.
Please join me in voting for Bill Dodd for State Senate on November 8th.
-- Signed, CONGRESSMAN MIKE THOMPSON, 5th Congressional District
