Common Ground Scorecard for Ro Khanna

Maverick
U.S. House

Ro Khanna (CA-17 - D)

Compare

California’s Ro Khanna resides at the tricky intersection of a transformational economic justice agenda being pursued by fellow progressive Democrats and the corporate actions of his district’s Silicon Valley tech elite, who are increasingly accused of concentrating their own wealth and power at the expense of opportunities for the working class across the rest of the country. Khanna identifies himself as a “progressive capitalist” and knows both sides well. He’s a former intellectual property lawyer and economics professor who worked on business issues as a member of the Obama administration.
