Congressman Mike Thompson (CA-05) has been reappointed to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
“It is a high honor to once again be appointed to serve on the House Intelligence Committee,” said Thompson. “Strong, viable intelligence is the most effective way to keep America safe. I look forward to continuing my work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to strengthen our Intel community and make sure they have the resources they need to keep Americans safe.”
Rep. Thompson was first selected to serve on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in 2007.
The committee has jurisdiction over the intelligence community and intelligence-related activities by the CIA, DIA, NSA, and other agencies of the Department of Defense and the Departments of State, Justice and Treasury.
Thompson represents California’s Fifth Congressional District, which includes all or part of Contra Costa, Lake, Napa, Solano and Sonoma counties.
In December Thompson was appointed chair of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force.
