U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson, D-St. Helena, was sworn in Tuesday for another term representing the 5th Congressional District that includes all or parts of Napa, Contra Costa, Lake, Solano and Sonoma counties.

"It is the highest honor to represent our communities in Congress, and I am both humbled and honored to have been sworn in to represent California's 5th District," Thompson said in a news release. "This new Congress gives us a fresh opportunity to move past partisan gridlock and address the issues and challenges facing American families.

"As our district's representative, I am committed to working across the aisle to make sure our economy works for everyone, our education system leaves no one behind, our debt is lowered, our streets are safe, and our veterans and seniors get the benefits they've earned. By working together, I know we can achieve these goals."
