Issues
Throughout his life, Mike Thompson has worked to bring people together and get things done.
Now he’s using those problem-solving skills in Topeka — to put us first!
Mike looks for bipartisan solutions to keep our state moving forward.
Help Working Families & Protect Seniors
It’s time to grow jobs and wages — and address skyrocketing property taxes and utility costs by cutting wasteful spending.
Keep Neighborhoods Safe & Strong
Our community and first responders must stand together to improve public safety and reduce crime.
Focus on Results for Kids
Let’s get more education dollars into the classroom, give parents a seat at the table, and focus on better outcomes for our students. Results matter!
Protect Our WyCo Way of Life
Strong families are the foundation of our community. That means politicians should put Wyandotte County families first, not special interests or bigger government. And we must work together to defend our constitutional rights and the most vulnerable among us.
House District 33
Proud home of the Kansas Speedway!
Interstates 70 and 435 run through the heart of the 33rd House District, and the Kansas River flows along our southern border. In this special place, we enjoy NASCAR, the Legends, Azura Amphitheater, the Ag Center, the New American Royal complex and a lot of the great outdoors.
Best of all, we have hardworking people, great churches, and wonderful families in our district, which encompasses the communities of Turner, Morris, Muncie and Delaware Ridge in Kansas City, KS, Bonner Springs, Edwardsville and the northernmost tip of Lake Quivira.
