<h3><span class="mw-headline">Background</span></h3>

<p>Thomas was born in Wallace, Idaho, was educated at San Francisco State University, and was a faculty member at Bakersfield Community College and a member of the California State Assembly before entering the House.

<h3><span class="mw-headline">Congressional Career</span></h3>

<p>Thomas was the Chairman of the powerful <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=House_Ways_and_Means_Committee" title="House Ways and Means Committee" class="mw-redirect">House Ways and Means Committee</a>, though term limits prevented him from retaining that position after 2006. His position in this committee made him one of the most powerful members of Congress. When <i>The Washingtonian</i> polled congressional aides on the "best and worst" of Congress, Thomas was voted #1 for "brainiest," "workhorse," "meanest" and overwhelmingly for "hottest temper" in the House.

<h4><span class="mw-headline">2006 Elections</span></h4>

<p>Thomas announced that he would retire at the end of his term. <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Democratic_Party" title="Democratic Party" class="mw-redirect">Democrats</a> nominated <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Sharon_Beery&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Sharon Beery (page does not exist)">Sharon Beery</a> and <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Republican_Party" title="Republican Party" class="mw-redirect">Republicans</a> nominated <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Kevin_McCarthy" title="Kevin McCarthy">Kevin McCarthy</a> to contest the November 2006 election for his vacant seat.

Thomas is also known for losing his temper when people are unprepared, earning a reputation for sharp interrogations. "He's revered, but he's also reviled to some degree", fellow representative <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Foley" title="Mark Foley">Mark Foley</a> told <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional_Quarterly" title="Congressional Quarterly">CQ Weekly</a></i>.</p>

<p>

Thomas was a key proponent of several of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_W.Bush" title="George W. Bush">President George W.

<p>

On March 6, 2006, Thomas announced he would not seek reelection, retiring after 28 years in the House. A major influence on his decision was the internal GOP <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republican_Revolution#Ramifications" title="Republican Revolution">term limits</a> that would require him to relinquish his Ways and Means chairmanship even if he were re-elected.<sup class="Template-Fact" style=" white-space: nowrap;">[<i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources from May 2010">citation needed</span></a></i>]</sup> Thomas endorsed a former aide, Assemblyman <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_McCarthy_%28California_politician%29" title="Kevin McCarthy (California politician)">Kevin McCarthy</a>, who was elected to replace him.

In 2007, after leaving the House, Thomas joined the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Enterprise_Institute" title="American Enterprise Institute">American Enterprise Institute</a> as a visiting fellow working on tax policy, trade policy, and health care policy.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Thomas#cite_note-1"><span>[</span>2<span>]</span></a></sup> Thomas also joined law and lobbying firm <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buchanan,Ingersoll%26_Rooney" title="Buchanan, Ingersoll & Rooney">Buchanan, Ingersoll & Rooney</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Thomas#cite_note-2"><span>[</span>3<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
