Representative Jimmy Panetta, serving California's 19th district in the U.S. Congress since 2017, shared a series of updates on his official Twitter account. The posts reflect his recent activities and stances on various issues affecting his constituents.

On February 1, 2025, Rep. Panetta criticized an action by the current administration: "This week we also saw the opposite from this administration. The president attempted to freeze federal funding for working families, schools, community health centers, and more. Fortunately, we fought back and our system of checks and balances stood strong!"

In another post on the same day, he expressed pride in collaborating with local leaders to address youth mental health: "I was proud to stand with local leaders, educators, and students to celebrate a new start in how we care for youth mental health."

Additionally, Rep. Panetta highlighted a significant development in Santa Cruz County regarding mental health resources for students: "This is a first-of-its-kind facility in Santa Cruz County that ensures every student has access to mental health resources. I fought to secure significant federal investment for this project."
