Thompson found sexy robocall humorous

ROSEVILLE -- U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson (D-St. Helena) had a humorous take on a robocall earlier this week by his Republican opponent that featured a woman speaking in a sultry tone and saying, "Mike Thompson's been a baaad boy."

"I guess there are a couple of things he could've done to raise his name ID," said Thompson, who appeared at an event with Democratic candidate Charlie Brown Friday. "That was one of them."

When pressed for other ideas Republican Zane Starkewolf could've tried, Thompson said with laughter, "He could've robbed a bank. That might've made fewer people mad!"

Thompson is expected to win another term in the state's 1st Congressional District over Starkewolf, a political novice from Davis.
