Rep. Jimmy Panetta, a member of the U.S. Congress representing California's 19th district since 2017, shared insights on various issues through a series of tweets on March 12, 2025. The congressman addressed local and national concerns, emphasizing partnerships and economic challenges.

On March 12, 2025, Rep. Panetta tweeted about a meeting with local officials from Seaside. He stated: "Had a productive meeting with local officials from Seaside today! We're working together to strengthen the partnership between the federal and local governments, focusing on critical issues like water, infrastructure, and improving quality of life for the community."

Later that day, he commented on national economic policies: "The Administration’s erratic policies focused on billionaires and grievances are raising everyday costs for working families and wreaking havoc on our economy. As inflation continues and layoffs mount, the economy is facing serious challenges." He emphasized the need for solutions in response to these challenges.

In another tweet posted later in the day, Rep. Panetta expressed concerns regarding tax processing services: "People need to be able to rely on the IRS to ensure that their taxes can get properly filed. Cutting the employees who help process our taxes risks delays, lost revenue, and frustration for taxpayers." He called for accountability to protect taxpayer interests.
