I have been following Rep. Jimmy Panetta throughout this turbulent time, and he has consistently demonstrated a deep commitment to his constituents in District 19. His leadership on the Rapid Response Task Force and the Litigation Working Group ensures that House Democrats are working closely with grassroots organizations to challenge unlawful actions by the Trump administration.
His regular updates through newsletters, town hall meetings and Q&A sessions highlight his genuine engagement with the community. His phone calls, reaching over 5,000 people, and his town halls are examples of his commitment to transparency and open dialogue. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to participate in many of his constituent meetings, and each time, he has demonstrated a willingness to listen and take action when needed — just as he is doing now.
Congressman Panetta’s proactive stance, dedication and effective communication continue to make him a strong advocate for the people he serves, ensuring that our voices are heard in Washington.
