Larry Thompson Announces His Candidacy for U.S. Congress and Presents His Vision for a Futuristic, Bipartisan California

Thompson’s campaign includes organizing STARS FOR AMERICA℠, wherein Hollywood Stars can support their political positions without fear of retaliation.

LOS ANGELES, CA, UNITED STATES, August 26, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Larry Thompson, Republican candidate for California’s 32nd Congressional District, today officially announced his candidacy for the U.S. House of Representatives. Thompson is challenging 15-term, 30-year incumbent Brad Sherman (D), offering voters a modern, forward-looking vision for California and America’s future.

“California has always been the Land of Dreams,” said Thompson. “But somewhere along the way, we lost that positive energy and promise. My campaign is about rekindling that vision—honoring our classic Hollywood legacy while launching bold, bipartisan solutions that no longer hold us down to the past 30 years status quo but launch us 30 years into the future.”

A Vision Rooted in Heritage and Innovation

Thompson’s campaign will focus on uniting citizens of all political backgrounds around practical, future-driven solutions:

• A 32-Point Political Plan for District 32 – Thompson unveiled an ambitious policy agenda to make the district more livable, affordable, and safe.

• Preserving Hollywood’s Legacy – Supporting cultural and historical initiatives that honor our entertainment capital of the world while inspiring the next generation of dreamers and creators.

• STARS FOR AMERICA℠ – Establishing a nonprofit organization that invites celebrities and influencers across the political spectrum to serve as Ambassadors, freely supporting causes without fear of retaliation and connecting them directly with the Washington elect, ensuring Hollywood's role as a beacon of free expression. "All Stars are welcome," said Thompson.

• Embracing Financial Freedom – Actively promoting Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as engines of economic opportunity, in contrast to Sherman’s 15-year opposition. "Brad Sherman, in his attempt to outlaw crypto, has held our future back by being on the wrong side of history," Thompson stated.

• Next-Generation Transportation – Advocating for an above-the-ground rail transit system connecting the San Fernando Valley and West Los Angeles along the Sepulveda Corridor, modeled after Japan’s sleek and efficient bullet train. Thompson supports LA Metro's Sepulveda Pass Plan, Aerial Monorail along the 405 freeway, end-to-end travel time: 28 minutes, Projected Daily Boardings: 61,590.

• Welcoming the LA28 Olympics – Showcasing Los Angeles as a global symbol of innovation, hospitality, and unity.

• Ending One-Party Rule – “One-party dominance, no matter which party, ultimately leads to stagnation and corruption,” stated Thompson.

A Bipartisan Appeal

Acknowledging Congressman Sherman’s decades of service, Thompson said: “Brad has done a respectable job maintaining the status quo, but his quiet, passive leadership has left us embarassingly behind the times. Californians deserve a future that blends tradition with bold, innovative progress. We want to be leaders again.”

Thompson emphasized that his campaign is about unity, not division: “This is not just a Republican vision or a Democratic vision—it’s a California vision. A vision where citizens from every background can dream, create, and thrive together. My call is simple: Use Common Sense with Common Civility to find Common Ground to solve our Common Issues.”
