How to read this: members of Congress report each asset and debt in a value band (for example, $1,001 to $15,000), not an exact amount. We add up the low ends and the high ends, then subtract debts the same way, to get the widest possible range. The midpoint is simply the middle of that range, not a measured value. The forms do not include a home the official lives in (unless it earns rent), cars and personal belongings, or federal retirement savings such as the Thrift Savings Plan, so true net worth can be higher. We also leave out mortgages on homes the report does not list as assets, because the homes themselves are not counted either.

Compares the 2016 report with the 2025 report, using the same method for both. His first report in the online database covers 2016, before he took office in 2017, so the chart starts before his first day in office. Changes can come from a spouse’s assets, market moves, property values, new debts or how filers choose bands, and the forms do not say which. We do not guess.

Jimmy Panetta reported household assets minus debts of $230K to $850K, a midpoint of about $540K, on his latest financial disclosure (2025 annual report, filed August 13, 2026).

Jimmy Panetta represents California's 19th congressional district, which runs from southeast San Jose through Santa Cruz, Monterey and Carmel-by-the-Sea to Paso Robles. He is a lawyer, a former Navy intelligence officer and a member of the Democratic Party.

He was first elected in 2016 after working as a deputy district attorney for Monterey County. He is the son of former Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta and represents the same region his father once represented in Congress.

What his 2025 disclosure shows

The report he filed on August 13, 2026 covers 2025. It lists 26 assets with a value, adding up to $230,000 to $850,000. The largest are Janus IRA: Janus Henderson Research Fund – D Shares (JNRFX) (spouse, $100K–$250K); Bank of America (joint, $50K–$100K) and Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. 529 Plan: Fundamental Investors, Class 529-A Shares (CFNAX) (dependent child, $15,001–$50,000). Another four items are listed with no value or an undetermined value, such as a pension, so they are not counted.

The report lists no debts that we count, so the range of $230,000 to $850,000 comes from the assets alone, with a midpoint of about $540,000. It also lists a mortgage on a home the report does not list as an asset. As on all our House profiles, we leave that debt out because the home's value is not counted either.

How the range has changed

Using the same method for every year, the midpoint of his disclosed range went from about $216,000 on his 2016 report to about $540,000 on his 2025 report. The chart shows ten reports from 2016 to 2025, each added up the same way, and nothing is filled in between them.

These are ranges built from the value bands on each form, not exact values. They move with market prices, property values, new or paid-off debts and the bands a filer picks, and the forms do not say which of these caused a change. Like every member of Congress, Panetta does not have to report a home he lives in, cars and personal belongings, or federal retirement savings such as the Thrift Savings Plan, so his real net worth could be higher than these forms show.
