Tommy Thompson comes to Riverside County
Riverside County Republican has a new Executive Director, Tommy Thompson. When I heard the news I had to ask myself if the former Wisconsin Governor and Health & Human Services Secretary would be able to do a good job in that position. I kind of doubted it, since governing and running a good voter registration program were two different animals. I was relieved to hear that this Tommy Thompson is a much better choice. He is the son of former Assemblyman Bruce Thompson and comes with a great political resume. He worked on all his dads’ campaigns and did a stint in Assemblyman Haynes office. His mom currently works for State Senator Hollingsworth. The bottom line is that he is no stranger to Riverside Republican politics. I think this was a great choice by new Chairman Jeff Miller.
