Grace Panetta

Political reporter (She/Her)

I’m Grace Panetta, a political reporter at The 19th covering the candidates, issues and voters that power our elections. My journey in political journalism began at the end of my sophomore year of college, where I took an internship on Business Insider’s politics desk that turned into a full-time job. I got to cover lots of big stories while honing a beat on elections and voting rights. 

Four years, a pandemic and a presidential election later, I joined The 19th to cover campaigns up and down the ballot and abortion rights ballot measures, centering the voters and advocates who make it all happen. 

I graduated from Barnard College in the class of 2020. I’m a proud New England native and live in Washington, D.C. — though I can be easily persuaded to say yes to spontaneous concerts and weekend trips. If I’m not spending my weekend with friends, I’m probably in an airport, chain hotel or rental car in a battleground state near you.

My work is free to consume and free to republish because of contributions from readers like you. A donation of $19 goes a long way toward sustaining our nonprofit newsroom.
