The Honorable Michael "Mike" Panetta is currently serving his second term as the United States Representative for District of Columbia, a position he was first elected to in 2006. Representative Panetta works to bring attention to the District’s lack of voting representation in Congress and limited home rule. Before serving as shadow representative, Panetta had run several high-profile campaigns for DC representation including starting an Olympic curling team for the District and leading efforts to rename RFK Stadium “Taxation Without Representation Field” in 2005. Representative Panetta lives in the Brightwood neighborhood of Washington, DC with his wife and daughter.
