• In-person town halls and constituent accessibility 88 days silent
  Expected position: Given sustained constituent protests outside Thompson's Bellefonte office since President Trump's second inauguration and demands for public accountability, constituents expected Thompson to hold in-person town halls or make his work calendar publicly available to demonstrate transparency and accessibility. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: Multiple protests have been held outside Thompson's office, including a March 18 event where constituents voiced frustration over his support for Trump administration funding cuts. Thompson did not appear despite knowing about the event. His office declined to provide his work calendar when requested by Spotlight PA, with a spokesperson claiming Thompson had held 'more than 500 meetings' without releasing verifiable records. Thompson relies exclusively on telephone town halls, which critics say limit spontaneous constituent engagement.

• H.R. 3684 ↗ NAY_UNVERIFIED 2021-11-05
  Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
  why contradicted?

  [against_constituent] Thompson voted against the $1.2 trillion infrastructure package that included $65 billion for rural broadband, a critical need in his sprawling rural district where connectivity gaps persist. He cited insufficient broadband funding ($2 billion vs. the $43 billion he said was needed), yet the bill represented the largest federal broadband investment in history and his district has below-average internet access.
• H.R. 1319 ↗ NAY_UNVERIFIED 2021-02-27
  American Rescue Plan Act of 2021
  why contradicted?

  [against_constituent] Thompson voted against $1.9 trillion in COVID relief that included $1,400 direct payments, expanded child tax credits, and state/local aid. His district has a 13.1% poverty rate and median income of $65,472, both below national averages, meaning constituents stood to benefit materially. Every House Republican opposed the bill.

No documented broken promises on file.

• statement_vs_disclosure SCORE 90
  Thompson cited election 'irregularities' to justify objecting to Pennsylvania's electoral votes despite no evidence of fraud, undermining the democratic process. Biden's 80,000-vote margin and multiple court rulings confirmed the election's integrity, yet Thompson voted to sustain the objection even after the Capitol was breached.
• reversal SCORE 90
  Thompson voted against the 2009 Omnibus Appropriations Act but then issued press releases touting millions in federal funding that the same bill delivered to Centre County and Penn State, a pattern of 'vote no, claim credit' that recurred throughout his career.

  Thompson voted against federal legislation to protect same-sex marriage, calling it a 'messaging stunt,' then three days later celebrated his own son's same-sex wedding, calling his son's union a blessing. The contradiction between his public policy position and private family conduct drew national media scrutiny. Both quotes appear in the same Washington Post article.
