February 20, 2019

Rep. Jimmy Panetta announced Tuesday that he has been appointed to serve as an assistant whip for the 116th Congress.

"I am honored to have the opportunity to shape and advocate for policies that will help my community on the central coast of California and those like it around the nation," said Panetta in a media release.

Assistant whips are responsible for helping the whip operation get an accurate read on where Members of the Caucus stand on certain pieces of legislation. They work with members of the caucus to answer any questions or address any concerns that members may have with upcoming bills.
