About

Before Congress, Panetta served as a deputy district attorney in Monterey County, prosecuting violent crime and gang cases. He is a U.S. Navy Reserve intelligence officer who deployed to Afghanistan in 2007 in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
CA-19 covers parts of Santa Cruz, Monterey, Santa Clara and San Luis Obispo counties, including the Monterey Peninsula. The City of Salinas is in CA-18. Check your sample ballot for your district. Panetta sits on the House Ways and Means Committee.

In Their Own Words Pending response
The project’s outreach log records this candidate’s invitation on May 20, 2026. Transparent Salinas uses the same six-question form for CA-19 candidates it contacts; this is not a claim that every candidate was reached on the same date. Panetta’s November opponent is Republican Peter Coe Verbica, who advanced from the June 2 primary.

Timeline
Questionnaire responses retain their substance; clearly marked formatting or safety redactions may be made. Candidates the project contacts in the same covered race receive the same questions, but not necessarily on the same date; the invitation and response status above reflects the project’s outreach log. Unless submitted in Spanish, text on Spanish pages is a Transparent Salinas translation; if it differs, the original-language response controls. Compare this full 2026 field.
About these numbers
- Each 2026 figure is its own measure. The 2026 figures are not added together, within a committee or across committees.
- Unavailable (not zero): Shown when a figure could not be established from the filings used here, such as when no committee was matched to a candidate or a committee has no 2026 full statement. It does not mean zero dollars.
- Names withheld: individual contributors below the disclosure threshold are pooled into one row. Pooled amounts remain in funding totals.
- Loans, in-kind support and contributions reported after a committee’s last full statement are shown separately from monetary contributions.
- Reports filed after the export date may be missing. Check the City’s NetFile portal for newer filings.
- Positions of ballot-measure committees are as their filings or the City’s portal state them. They are not endorsements by Transparent Salinas.
