Jimmy Panetta releases statement after 2024 reelection victory
United States Representative Jimmy Panetta.
Congressman shares his vision for the future
– U.S. Representative Jimmy Panetta (CA-19) released a statement on the results of his 2024 reelection:
I am honored and humbled that the people of California’s 19th Congressional District again chose me to represent them in the United States Congress. During my time as a U.S. Representative, I have always been driven and guided by the principle that good governing is good politics. I have lived up to that precept by ensuring that I pass federal legislation that affects our lives and livelihoods, deliver federal investment for our local infrastructure, and provide services to constituents who have challenges with the federal government.
Despite the division and dysfunction that can pervade our politics, I have worked diligently to fulfill the above goals. As demonstrated by the results of my reelections, including this year, a majority of the voters in California’s 19th Congressional District acknowledge my work and appreciate the way I govern.
During my time as a U.S. Representative, I have served with different presidents and different majorities during four different congresses. I always will work with anybody who helps me govern. At the same time, I have proven that I also will fight for our rights and values when threatened. Our founding fathers wrote safeguards into our constitution that allowed for two other branches of government to be a check on a president who acts like an authoritarian for his own ends.
In the 119th Congress, I will ensure that our system of checks and balances is functioning and abiding, be ready to fight back to protect our democracy, and always be willing to work together to get things done and govern for the people of California’s 19th Congressional District.
Rep. Jimmy Panetta, a Democrat, represents California’s 19th Congressional District, which includes the city of Paso Robles. He was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2016.
