EXCLUSIVE: Larry Thompson, the veteran entertainment attorney/personal manager/film producer, wants to add the additional title of U.S. Congressman. Thompson is entering the race in California̵…
It won’t be easy, and he knows it: Bass is a Democrat and the district — which includes 738,000 residents and encompasses both the new Disney/Fox in Century City and Sony Pictures in Culver City– has traditionally been a Democratic stronghold. The primary election will be March 3, 2020 and the top two candidates from any party will vie for the seat in the November 3, 2020 election.
While Thompson has never run for office before, he believes that 50 years as an advocate for Hollywood talent as a lawyer and manager has given him a skill for enhancing the lives of those clients. “Now, I want to be a representative of the people and do those kinds of things for them, giving them a voice and empowering their lives,” he said.
Thompson, who hails from Mississippi, tells a story he remembered that he said stuck with him and made this ambition an inevitability for him. “I believe that the Democratic Party has treated both Latino and African American voters just like old man Harrison treated Felix on that plantation,” Thompson said. “You vote Democrat, you don’t know why, but you’ve been told they’ll take care of you. I don’t think the Democratic Party has taken care of the impoverished. They talk a good game, but people are starting to wake up. I want to help them in different ways than political parties are doing.
