Look forward to our work together, pushing forward for our community.”
Later that evening, he wrote about attending an event supporting young people with epilepsy: “Was honored to join the Young Adults with Epilepsy for the Tides of Hope Gala on the Monterey Peninsula.

On July 22, Panetta highlighted his participation in a panel at a national forestry conference: “Joined a panel at the National Congress on Forests to talk about advancing solutions for healthy forests and thriving communities. From wildfire resilience to rural economies, smart forest policy is key to protecting our environment and supporting the people who depend on it.”
