“Words cannot express my gratitude for the people of Greene, Boone, and Story counties. Serving my friends, neighbors, and the community that raised me in the Iowa House has been the greatest honor of my life,” he said in a released statement.

Thompson has served on twelve standing committees and three budget subcommittees during his three terms in office. He is currently the chairs of the Iowa House Public Safety Committee. During his time in the Iowa House, Thompson championed efforts to improve rural emergency medical services and expand Second Amendment rights. In 2021, Thompson floor-managed legislation making Iowa the first state to require full-time, in-person learning opportunities for students during the COVID-19 pandemic. That legislation was adopted by other states shortly after.
