Representative Tommy Thompson is a committed and dedicated community servant.  He has been involved in numerous organizations and causes throughout his adult life living in Daviess County. Recent highlights include giving out medals at the 10th Annual Relay for Life event.  He also is the sponsor of the Tommy Thompson Scholarship that is given every year to a child of a member of the Home Builders Association of Kentucky to assist that child in pursuit of a post secondary degree.

Recently, Tommy Thompson and his company, Thompson Homes, constructed a home in just one week for a deserving family for the hit ABC TV show Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.  With thousands of families in need and over 1,500 requests received each day from across the United States, Owensboro was chosen along with Thompson Homes to construct a new home.

The project was a massive undertaking but in just a one week period, 3,000 people volunteered to make a dream come true for the Mattingly Family of Daviess County.  Tommy Thompson describes the undertaking as a once-in-a-lifetime experience.  ”We set out to change the life of a deserving family,” said Thompson, adding “in the process it changed my life.” Click here to read the press release about the project.
