When U.S. Rep. Jimmy Panetta, D-Carmel Valley, was elected to represent Monterey County and beyond on Capitol Hill in 2016, he quickly came to feel that being a congressman was a job he was meant to do. A natural people person, Panetta set about making friends on both sides of the aisle, embracing the bipartisanship ethos that existed in Congress when his father, Leon, was a member, before the discourse got poisoned by conspiracy theories, culture war nonsense and ad hominem attacks. Panetta rejects that style of politics – he leads with a smile, a handshake and by listening to the people he represents.
