ST. PAUL, Minn. (KFGO) – Many people are wondering whether State Representative John Thompson was living in Minnesota or Wisconsin when he was elected to the Minnesota House last November.
Thompson was stopped in Saint Paul for no front license plate and presented a Wisconsin driver’s license to the officer. Thompson doesn’t have a Minnesota driver’s license, and his driving privileges were revoked in Minnesota at the time because of a child support issue.
Thompson has had a Wisconsin driver’s license since 2000 and most recently renewed it in November 2020 — the same month as the election. Thompson said in a statement Monday night, “I live and work in St. Paul, and have for many years.”
