Congressman gives update to Aptos community

Congressman gives update to Aptos community Congressman Jimmy Panetta speaks with Pajaro Valley Unified School District board president Leslie DeRose on Aug. 14 during a luncheon presented by the Aptos Chamber of Commerce at the Best Western Seacliff Inn. Panetta, who was the guest speaker, described what he has been working on in Congress over the past year. He said many people across the country are “overwhelmed” and “confused” at the actions of the White House and Congress, stressing the importance of Republicans and Democrats working together to solve issues. “It feels like we have been governing on flurry,” Panetta said. “It’s time we govern on focus. You have to work with the other side to get things done.” About 90 people were in attendance.
