Rep. Jimmy Panetta, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing California's 19th district since 2017, recently shared updates on a significant infrastructure project through a series of tweets. Born in Washington, D.C., in 1969 and currently residing in Carmel Valley, Panetta is known for his commitment to effective governance and collaboration.

On November 18, 2024, Rep. Panetta expressed his dedication to securing funding for an important project by stating: "From day one, my team and I worked with urgency and persistence to secure this funding, coordinate with the Federal Highway Administration, and ensure that this critical project stayed on track."

In another tweet on the same day, he acknowledged the collective effort behind the project's success: "Thank you to everyone who worked to make this possible. Together, we’re building a stronger and more connected Central Coast."

Further emphasizing the significance of collaboration and governance, Panetta remarked: "This reopening is a testament to what we can achieve through collaboration, persistence, and effective governance. I’ll continue to fight for investments that deliver results for CA-19 and ensure our federal, state, and local agencies remain aligned in serving our communities."
