Representative Jimmy Panetta, who has served California’s 19th district in the U.S. Congress since 2017, is vocal about his concerns and commitments in recent tweets. A graduate from the University of California, Davis and Santa Clara University, Panetta continues to address issues faced by his constituents.

On March 28, 2025, Panetta expressed concerns regarding the Trump administration's cuts to Social Security services. Highlighting the potential difficulty for Californians, particularly seniors and those with disabilities, to access their benefits, he stated, "The Trump administration's cuts to Social Security services will force more Californians to visit local offices in person, making it harder for many, especially seniors and those with disabilities, to access their benefits. We must stop these closures and protect the services."

Later that day, Panetta shared his engagement with constituents in the community of Paso Robles. Reflecting on these interactions, he posted at 22:30 UTC that it was "great to meet with community members in Paso Robles to discuss the challenges with the current administration and how we are fighting back with our strong system of checks and balances."

In another tweet at 23:30 UTC, Panetta emphasized his commitment to his constituents and community support. He noted, "These are tough times, but I remain committed to showing up, listening, and fighting for our community." Panetta mentioned forming a partnership with Rep. Jamie Raskin to bolster his efforts.
