The following issues were listed on Panetta's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

Comprehensive Immigration Reform: He believes that the time has come for Congress to stop playing politics and get serious about passing common sense immigration reform. America must recognize that children of immigrants born in this country – the so called “dreamers” – should have the chance to earn their way to citizenship in this country.

Education: Jimmy is committed to making sure the Every School Succeeds Act (ESSA) achieves its goals of providing opportunity to every child, reducing the overreliance on standardized testing, and bringing educators into the decision-making process.

Economy and Job Creation: Expanding the local economy, investing in innovation and clean energy, raising wages, supporting workers through job training programs, and helping small businesses grow will be top priorities for Jimmy.

Protecting Our Environment: Jimmy knows that collaboration is the key to getting competing interests to work together for common good because our local economy, tourism, and agriculture are all dependent upon protection of our water, farmland and forests.

Affordable Health Care: Jimmy believes that everyone deserves access to quality, affordable health care. California is helping lead the nation by enrolling eligible individuals and families through the Affordable Care Act (ACA). [6]
