Starting in 1996, he served two years as a legislative assistant to the Buffalo Common Council.

1998

In early 1998, he was named executive director of the Office of Urban Initiatives, which is a community development corporation that endeavors to improve business opportunities for minorities.

2000

After then-Common Councilman Byron Brown was elected to the New York State Senate in November 2000, Thompson was favored for an appointment as Brown's successor.

2001

Thompson previously served as the Masten District councilman on the Buffalo Common Council from 2001 to 2007.

Thompson was sworn in as the Masten District Common Councilman on January 4, 2001 after being appointed by the Democratic Committee.

His East Side district included 27% of Buffalo's African American population.

The Buffalo Common Council had a brief African-American majority during Thompson's appointed half term that ended following the subsequent elections in September and November 2001.

After African-Americans lost their majority the council voted along racial lines by a 7–6 margin to shrink the common council from thirteen to nine members by eliminating the four at-large positions (three of which were held by African-Americans).

The city voters endorsed the proposal by a 35,849–19,036 margin which largely went along racial lines.

Thompson retained his council position in the 2001, 2003 and 2005 elections.

2004

Thompson served as a John Edwards delegate at the 2004 Democratic National Convention.

As a councilmember, Thompson advocated against crime and economic malaise and for foster economic development, worker training, and public parks.

2005

In 2005, Thompson began testing the waters for higher office.

He raised campaign funds and consulted party leaders about the possibility of challenging United States House of Representatives then 76-year-old congresswoman Louise Slaughter who was already a 10-term veteran.

2006

Thompson was encouraged to pursue Brown's New York State Senate seat that was to be filled by special election on February 28, 2006 after Brown ascended to be the Mayor of Buffalo on January 1, 2006 following the 2005 election.

The district has a 4–1 ratio of registered Democrats to Republicans.

In 2006, the Erie County Democratic Party chairman was Leonard Lenihan, and he noted that Thompson had not been timely in entering the special election process.

The Erie and Niagara County Democratic committees bypassed Thompson as their nominee in favor of Marc Coppola despite Brown's backing.

Thompson had issued a threat that without backing for the State Senate seat, he would challenge Slaughter in the September primary election, but Lenihan was unimpressed with the threat and asserted that Thompson needed to take a "Dale Carnegie course in terms of how to win friends and influence people".

Thompson decided to run for the New York Senate seat in the November 2006 general election.

Marc Coppola won the special election by a 56–44% margin in a district where Democrats outnumber Republicans more than 6:1.
