Rohit Khanna (/ˈkɑːnə/KAHN; born September 13, 1976) is an American politician and lawyer serving as theU.S. representative fromCalifornia's 17th congressional district since 2017. A member of theDemocratic Party, he defeated eight-term incumbent Democratic RepresentativeMike Honda in the general election on November 8, 2016, after first running for the same seat in 2014. Khanna also served as the deputy assistant secretary in theUnited States Department of Commerce underPresidentBarack Obama from August 8, 2009, to August 2011. Khanna endorsedBernie Sanders for president of the United Statesin 2016.[1] In 2020, Khanna co-chaired theBernie Sanders 2020 presidential campaign.

Khanna was born inPhiladelphia toIndian immigrant parents.[2] A self described “progressive capitalist,” Khanna has called for a "neweconomic patriotism" as a governing philosophy.[3][4][5][6] He states that he only accepts campaign donations from individuals and is one of only six members of theU.S. House of Representatives, and ten members ofCongress, who state that they do not take campaign contributions frompolitical action committees (PACs) or corporations.[7][8][9][10]

Early life and education

[edit]

Rohit Khanna was born on September 13, 1976, inPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania, into aPunjabiHindu family.[2] His parents immigrated to the U.S. fromPunjab, India, in the 1970s. His father is a chemical engineer who graduated from theIndian Institute of Technology (IIT) and theUniversity of Michigan while his mother is a former schoolteacher.[11][12][13]

Khanna's maternal grandfatherAmarnath Vidyalankar was fromBhera City,Shahpur District,Punjab Province,British India (nowBhera,Sargodha District,West Punjab,Pakistan). He was part of theIndian independence movement, working withLala Lajpat Rai, and spent two years in jail in the pursuit of Dominion status for India.[14][15][16] In a 2018Boston Globe op-ed, Khanna and RepresentativeJohn Lewis examined how Gandhi's movement was intertwined with the civil rights movement.[17]

Khanna graduated fromCouncil Rock High School, nowCouncil Rock High School North, apublic school inNewtown,Bucks County, in 1994.[18] He received aBachelor of Arts degree ineconomics withhonors from theUniversity of Chicago in 1998, where he was a member ofPhi Beta Kappa,[11][19][20] and aJuris Doctor fromYale Law School in 2001.

After graduation, Khanna clerked for federal appeals judgeMorris S. Arnold inLittle Rock, Arkansas. In private practice, he specialized inintellectual property law.[19]

Early work in politics, law, and teaching

[edit]

As a student at the University of Chicago, Khanna worked forWilliam D. Burns walking precincts duringBarack Obama's first campaign for theIllinois Senate in 1996.[21][22][23] Khanna interned forJack Quinn when Quinn served as thechief of staff forVice PresidentAl Gore.[24] As a sophomore, he interned at former presidentJimmy Carter'sCarter Center.

Khanna worked atO'Melveny & Myers as an attorney representing technology companies onintellectual property andtrade secret issues from 2004 to 2009.[25]

In 2009,PresidentBarack Obama appointed Khanna deputy assistant secretary of theUnited States Department of Commerce.[19] In that role,[26] Khanna led international trade missions[27] and worked to increase United States exports.[28] He was later appointed to the White House Business Council.[26]

Khanna left the Department of Commerce in August 2011[29] to joinWilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, a law firm inSilicon Valley.[30] Hispro bono legal activity includes work with the Mississippi Center for Justice on several contractor fraud cases on behalf ofHurricane Katrina victims and coauthoring anamicus brief to theU.S. Supreme Court in the Mt. Holly case to allowrace discrimination suits under the Fair Housing Act of 1968.[31][32] As part of a pro bono legal team, Khanna filed anamicus brief on behalf of 13 of the country's leading social scientists in the Supreme Court caseFisher v. University of Texas (2016). That brief included research on how a diverse educational environment benefits students and cited studies showing that race-conscious admissions policies (known asaffirmative action) used by institutions like theUniversity of Texas result in a more diverse student body.[33][34][35]

Khanna was a visiting lecturer ofeconomics atStanford University from 2012 to 2016, taught law at theSanta Clara University School of Law,[11] and taught American jurisprudence atSan Francisco State University.[36] In 2012, he published a book on American competitiveness in business,Entrepreneurial Nation: Why Manufacturing is Still Key to America's Future.[26][37] GovernorJerry Brown appointed Khanna to the CaliforniaWorkforce Investment Board in 2012.[38] Khanna served on the board of Planned Parenthood Mar Monte from 2006 until 2013 while on leave from the Obama Administration.[39]

In 2014, Khanna left Wilson Sonsini for his first, unsuccessful campaign for California's 17th congressional district seat.[40] He lost a close election to the incumbent,Mike Honda, but garnered substantial support from the Silicon Valley tech industry.[41] Khanna then took a job as Vice President of Strategic Initiatives at Smart Utility Systems.

In 2016, Khanna challenged Honda again and won, with significant support from venture capital firms and tech companies.[42] Khanna was reelected in 2018, 2020, 2022, and 2024.

U.S. House of Representatives

[edit]

Climate change

[edit]

As chair of the House Oversight Subcommittee on the Environment, Khanna presided over the "Big Oil hearing", bringing the CEOs ofExxonMobil,Chevron,Shell, andBP to appear before Congress under oath to investigate their spreading ofdisinformation aboutclimate change. The hearing took place on October 28, 2021. As late as 2000, Exxon advertised inThe New York Times that "scientists have been unable to confirm" that burningfossil fuels causes climate change. The Big Oil hearings were the first time oil executives were compelled to answer questions under oath about whether their corporations misled the public about the effects burning oil, gas and coal have on raising the Earth's temperature and extreme weather patterns like intensifying storms, deadlier wildfires, and worsening droughts.[43] During the hearing, Khanna called on the executives to "Spare us the spin today. We have no interest in it... Spin doesn't work under oath."[44] In an interview withYahoo Finance, Khanna described the oil industry's role in obfuscatingclimate science: "We will have scores of evidence that these big oil companies misrepresented to the American public the threat of climate change. They cast doubt and uncertainty, even though they had scientists in their own company telling them that climate change and climate crisis was going to be catastrophic. And that they continue to engage in a pattern of deception."[45] Khanna led the House Committee on Oversight and Reform's two-year investigation, which uncovered documents showing how Big Oil continues to mislead the public about its commitment to climate goals.[46]

Khanna played a key role in year long negotiations with SenatorJoe Manchin to secure the $369 billion climate investment in the Inflation Reduction Act and bring House progressives and environmental groups on board.[47][48][49]

Khanna criticized oil executives for increasing their oil production on October 28, 2021;[50] conversely, in March 2022, he called for an increase in production after gas prices increased."[51] In aWall Street Journal piece, Khanna laid out a comprehensive strategy to increase production and supply in the short term to dramatically lower prices for the working class and to have a "moonshot" in renewable energy for the long run to diversify energy sources and stabilize prices.[52] In aNew York Times piece, Khanna called on Biden to do "way more" to lower gas prices by having theStrategic Petroleum Reserve buy and sell oil cheaply to stabilize prices.[53]

Khanna called climate activistGreta Thunberg to testify in a hearing on eliminatingfossil fuel subsidies[54] and worked with executive director ofGreenpeace Annie Leonard to lead the campaign to stop new fossil fuel permitting in California.[55][56]

As chair of the House Oversight Subcommittee on the Environment, Khanna has been working with PresidentJoe Biden to refashion his climate agenda.[57]

In 2018, Khanna signed on to then Representative-electAlexandria Ocasio-Cortez's "Green New Deal" proposal, which seeks to form a climate change plan with a goal of a 100%renewable energy economy.[58][59][60]

In March 2019, Khanna was one of 14 members of the House to cosponsor the PFAS Detection Act, legislation intended to provide $45 million (~$52.9 million in 2023) to the U.S. Geological Survey for the purpose of developing advanced technologies that can detectPFAS and afterward conduct nationwide sampling for PFAS in the environment.[61]

In a December 2019,New York Times op-ed, Khanna and former secretary of stateJohn Kerry laid out a plan for how America should win the green energy race, analogizing it to thespace race.[62] Khanna and Kerry called for expanding theelectric vehicle tax credit to make it fully refundable at the time of purchase. This would mean that a person would receive money back immediately when buying an electric vehicle rather than waiting a year for a tax refund. They also called for an exponential increase in the Advanced Research Projects Agency's budget and for doubling the budgets for the Energy Department's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and Office of Science, which they say would support renewable energy research to foster the sort of innovation necessary to meet the scale and urgency of the climate challenge. Kerry and Khanna also called for the creation of an infrastructure bank to finance ahigh-speed rail system to relieve congestion, reduce pollution, increase energy efficiency, and provide alternatives to regional air travel. Finally, Khanna and Kerry called for the US to match China's annual investment in public-private partnerships, noting that China spent $126 billion on renewable energy investments in 2016, while the US spent just over $40 billion.[63]

Khanna has said that creating a Select Committee specifically dedicated to a Green New Deal would be a "very commonsense idea", based on the recent example of theSelect Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming (2007–2011), which proved effective in developing a2009 bill for cap-and-trade legislation.[64][65]

Internet Bill of Rights

[edit]

In April 2018,Nancy Pelosi asked Khanna to draft the Internet Bill of Rights in wake ofCambridge Analytica's breach andMark Zuckerberg's testimony to Congress.[66][67] In October 2018, Khanna released a set of principles for an Internet Bill of Rights, including the right of US citizens to have full knowledge of and control over their personal online data, the right to be notified and consent when an entity seeks to collect or sell one's personal data, and the guarantee ofnet neutrality.[68]

The inventor of theWorld Wide Web,Tim Berners-Lee, has endorsed Khanna's principles for the Internet Bill of Rights, saying, "This bill of rights provides a set of principles that are about giving users more control of their online lives while creating a healthier internet economy."[69]

Former secretary of stateHillary Clinton praised the efforts to establish an Internet Bill of Rights in her keynote speech atMansfield College, Oxford, saying, "it is past time to demand that all nations and corporations respect the right of individuals to control their own data... There is important work now being done by technologists like Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, and Ro Khanna, the U.S. Congressman representing Silicon Valley. They are trying to develop guidelines for how this could work."[70]

Technology and manufacturing jobs

[edit]

Khanna, Senate Majority LeaderChuck Schumer, SenatorTodd Young and RepresentativeMike Gallagher coauthored the Endless Frontier Act, a massive increase in science funding that createstechnology hubs across the nation.[71]

The White House invited Khanna to be on stage with President Biden when he signed the Chips and Science bill. This law is based on Khanna's Endless Frontiers bill and is one of the largest investments in science and in chip manufacturing in American history.[72]

Khanna's Valor Act passed both the House and the Senate and was signed by PresidentDonald Trump on November 21, 2017. The legislation makes it easier for companies to offer veterans apprenticeships.[73][74]

Trump signed Khanna's second bill, the IDEA Act, into law on December 20, 2018. It requires all federal agencies to modernize their websites to the standard of the private sector.[75]

In aNew York Timesop-ed, Khanna laid out his vision for bringing technology jobs to rural and small-town America. He called for additional funds to existing community colleges andland grant universities to create technology institutes,[76] endorsed an $80 billion investment in high-speed fiber internet throughout the country, and called for federal incentives for government hiring of rural-based software development companies.[77] Khanna also led a delegation ofSilicon Valley executives toJefferson, Iowa, where they partnered with local community colleges and Pillar Technology to create software designer jobs paying $65,000 a year.[78][79][80][81]

Khanna spearheaded a joint effort with Google, community colleges, HBCUs, and HSIs to establish a public-private partnership aimed at offering financial assistance, skills training, and access to high-paying positions in the technology sector to more than 100 students. This initiative was implemented at eight colleges, in Pennsylvania, Iowa, South Carolina, Mississippi, Illinois, New York, New Hampshire, and Nevada. Each participant received a $5,000 stipend and an 18-month credential.[82][83][84][85][86][87]

Khanna has argued that Silicon Valley should share its economic success with the rest of the U.S.[88][4] He has also been a longtime supporter of bringing advanced manufacturing jobs across America, the topic of his book,Entrepreneurial Nation: Why Manufacturing Is Still Key To America's Future.[89]

In March 2017, Khanna traveled toPaintsville, Kentucky, also known as "Silicon Holler", with a bipartisan delegation from Congress, to lend support to TechHire Eastern Kentucky, a program that trains Kentuckians in fields like computer technology and coding. He expressed support for a broad technology apprenticeship program that could help areas of the United States likeAppalachia by giving blue-collar workers the skills they need to launch careers in the technology sector.[90][91][92] The press has called Khanna the "Ambassador of Silicon Valley".[93][91]

In May 2017, Khanna stood up for the Appalachian Regional Commission and Manufacturing Externship Partnership, aReagan-era policy, when Trump's proposed 2018 budget zeroed out its funding. Khanna called for quadrupling the program's budget.[94]

Khanna passed his first legislative initiative as the lead Democrat with Majority LeaderKevin McCarthy to enable veterans to use GI funding for tech training programs.[95]

Khanna called on Silicon Valley executives and technology companies to do more nationwide to create tech jobs and diversify their recruiting efforts by making sure to recruit the next generation of tech workers from not just Ivy League institutions but also state schools and historically black colleges and universities. In aWashington Post op-ed, Khanna wrote, "Tech companies must offer an aspirational vision of how all Americans, regardless of geography, can benefit from a tech-driven economy. This means making investments not just in California, Massachusetts, and New York, but also in start-ups and entrepreneurs in cities and rural communities across the nation."[96]

In February 2018, Khanna and RepresentativeTim Ryan led a tour ofventure capitalists encouraging them to invest in middle America.[97][98]

Khanna has been called an "unconventional ambassador" for the Democratic Party in bringing technology and innovation across America.[99]

In 2022, Khanna was appointed to theNational Security Commission on Emerging Biotechnology, a bipartisan commission charged with making policy recommendations to Congress and the Executive Branch.[100]

Economics

[edit]

Khanna has called on his colleagues to adopt a moreprogressive economic platform.[101][102] He is an original co-sponsor of SenatorBernie Sanders's College For All Act, legislation aiming to make public colleges tuition-free.[103] He also has proposed $1 trillion expansion of theearned income tax credit (EITC),[104][105] financed by afinancial transaction tax, to help working families across America.[106]

In the Budget Committee, Khanna pointed out that Trump was for asingle-payer healthcare system in 2000.[107] Khanna now supports a House bill to provide "Medicare for All".[108]

Fred Hiatt, the editor ofThe Washington Post's editorial page, has suggested that Khanna is a thoughtful and new economic voice for the Democratic Party.[109]

Khanna has co-sponsored theReward Work Act of 2018, to reformUS labor law andcorporate law by guaranteeing the right of employees in listed companies to elect one third of theboard of directors.

Khanna supports the unionization ofStarbucks[110] andMaximus,[111] and urged California lawmakers and GovernorGavin Newsom to enact AB257, which sets workplace standards covering the state's fast-food industry, including wages, working hours, health and safety, and training.[112] Khanna led Congress in writing a letter toHoward Schultz to stand up for Starbucks workers' right to unionize.[113]

Khanna was among the 46 Democrats who voted against final passage of theFiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 in the House.[114]

LGBT rights

[edit]

Khanna led the legislation to implement a gender-inclusive "X" identifier on U.S. passports that served as a basis for the State Department's action on the issue.[115]

China

[edit]

House Democratic LeaderHakeem Jeffries appointed Khanna to the House Select Committee on Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party.[116] Khanna is pushing for rebalancing the U.S. relationship with China[117] on trade and shoring manufacturing.[118] He is also the ranking member on the House Armed Services Subcommittee for Cybersecurity, Innovation Technology, and Information Systems.[119]

NO PAC Caucus

[edit]

In 2017, Khanna co-founded the NO PAC Caucus[120] in the House with two other members,Beto O'Rourke andJared Polis. Three more U.S. Representatives subsequently chose to refuse all contributions from political action committees:Phil Roe,Francis Rooney, andJohn Sarbanes.[10] These members would not fill out questionnaires or pledge positions to political action committees in exchange for contributions. Khanna and O'Rourke also introduced a bill to ban PACs from contributing to members of Congress.[8][121]

In December 2018, Khanna, constitutional scholar Bruce Ackerman and SenatorRuss Feingold proposed a plan for "Democracy Dollars". Under the proposal, every American citizen would get $50 to spend on federal elections.[122][123] Khanna has also worked with Republican RepresentativeMike Gallagher of Wisconsin on reform proposals.[124]

Khanna has said he believes the Democratic Party needs to rethink its political program by running onprogressive issues like free college, Medicare for all, and the removal of corporate influence and money from politics.[125]

Khanna introduced a five-point reform ban to ban stock trading for members and spouses, to ban all PAC and lobbyist money, to have term limits for members of Congress and Supreme Court Justices, to ban Members of Congress from ever becoming lobbyists, and to have a judicial code of ethics for the Supreme Court.[126][127]

$10 a Day Childcare for All

[edit]

In 2024, Khanna introduced a universal childcare bill modeled after Canada's system. The legislation caps childcare costs for families making under $250,000 annually at $10 per day and mandates a minimum wage of $24 for childcare workers. The bill, with an estimated cost of $780 billion over 10 years, allows families to choose between private, public, neighborhood, or home-based childcare options. Stay-at-home parents are also supported through the program. Providers have the option to participate in the $10 a Day program and receive grant incentives. Nothing is mandatory.[128]

Constituent Services and Office Culture

[edit]

Khanna was honored as one of two offices out of 435 for having the best workplace culture by the Congressional Management Foundation in 2023[129] and for best constituent services in 2019.[130]

Reforming H1B abuse

[edit]

Khanna co-sponsored H.R.1303, a bipartisan companion bill to the H-1B and L-1 Visa Reform Act of 2017 designed to prevent the exploitation of foreign workers while still recognizing the contributions immigrants make to the US economy. The bill would overhaul the H-1B and L-1 visa programs to protect American workers and crack down on the outsourcing of American jobs abroad.[131]

Safety for sex workers

[edit]

Khanna partnered with SenatorElizabeth Warren to study the impact ofFOSTA/SESTA, including increased violence and sexual assault, on sex workers.[132][133][134]

Monopolistic behavior

[edit]

Khanna founded and co-chairs theAntitrust Caucus in the House.[135] He has called for a reorientation ofantitrust policy to consider the impact on jobs, wages, small business, and innovation, and for scrutiny of the Whole Foods/Amazon merger.[136][137]

In 2018, along with SenatorBernie Sanders, Khanna proposed theStop BEZOS Act, which would tax firms for every dollar that employees earn in government health care benefits orfood stamps.[138] The law would also make it illegal for any large company to investigate whether or not a potential employee receives federal assistance.[139] Khanna's rationale for the legislation was that it would force corporations to increase salaries for workers or pay for the welfare programs their employees rely on.[138] Economists at theCenter on Budget and Policy Priorities published an analysis of the bill finding that it would hurt low-wage workers by giving corporations incentives not to hire workers that rely on federal assistance programs.[140][141] Khanna challenged Amazon CEOJeff Bezos directly, saying that if Bezos "announced that [he] would pay everyone at least a $15 minimum wage and reliable hours, [he] could set the standard."[142] In response to Sanders's and Khanna's legislation and criticism, on October 2, 2018, Bezos announced that Amazon would raise wages of all employees to $15 an hour, effective November 2018.[143][144][145]

Khanna wrote a letter to the inspector general of theDepartment of Defense requesting that he look into TransDigm Group, an aviation-parts manufacturer, and supplier of companies likeBoeing.[146] In his letter, Khanna said TransDigm may be bypassing rules that protect U.S. taxpayers since the manufacturer conducts business with the Pentagon. He said he wants to make sure the TransDigm Group is not adding unnecessary costs to the U.S. taxpayer and is not contributing to the $54 billion increase in defense spending proposed by the Trump administration.[147] TransDigm agreed to refund $16.1 million to the Defense Department.[148]

In November 2018, Khanna and Sanders introduced the Stop WALMART Act, intended to ban large companies from buying back their own stock unless the company has a minimum hourly wage of $15 (~$19.00 in 2024) for all employees, allows employees to earn up to seven days of paid sick leave, and pays the company's CEO or highest-paid employee no more than 150 times the median pay for employees.[149]

Pharmaceuticals

[edit]

On November 20, 2018, Khanna and Sanders unveiled a bill intended to abolish monopolies on pharmaceuticals, regardless of any patents, and authorize companies to make cheaper generic versions of a drug if its price is higher than the median price inCanada, theUnited Kingdom,Germany,France andJapan. Sanders said in a statement that the United States was the only country in the world that allowed "pharmaceutical companies to charge any price they want for any reason they want" and that the "greed of the prescription drug industry is literally killing Americans".[150]

Foreign policy

[edit]

On November 13, 2017, the House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning civilian deaths,starvation and the spread of disease inYemen, admitting that much of the responsibility for that humanitarian crisis rests with the U.S. because of its support for aSaudi-led military intervention, and noting that the war has allowed al Qaeda, ISIL, and other groups to thrive.[151] Khanna, along with RepresentativeJim McGovern, co-sponsored the resolution on the House floor. The resolution passed with a bipartisan majority of 366–30.[152][153][154][155][156][157][158][159][excessive citations]

On September 27, 2017, Khanna and RepresentativesThomas Massie,Mark Pocan, andWalter B. Jones Jr. submitted a bipartisan bill on the floor of the House that would halt U.S. military assistance to the Saudi-led campaign in Yemen on the grounds that Congress never approved the American role in the war. In a joint statement with Pocan, Khanna said, "we aim to restore Congress as the constitutionally mandated branch of government that may declare war and retain oversight over it."[160][161][162] In an op-ed forThe New York Times detailing the human cost of the continued war in Yemen, Khanna, Pocan, and Jones wrote, "We believe that the American people, if presented with the facts of this conflict, will oppose the use of their tax dollars to bomb and starve civilians in order to further the Saudi monarchy's regional goals."[163]

In December 2017, Khanna criticized President Trump's decision torecognize Jerusalem as the capital ofIsrael, saying, "The United States and Israel share similar values of peace, democracy, and entrepreneurship. We should always look for ways to strengthen the relationship and address Israel's legitimate security concerns. The President's decision to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, however, is misguided and does not advance peace."[164]

On January 18, 2018, Khanna organized a group of 33 House members to sign a letter urging Trump to reestablish military-to-military communications withNorth Korea. He also called for two other steps that should be taken to alleviate tension with the DPRK. He reintroduced a bill explicitly stating that the President of the United States should not be allowed to launch a nuclear strike without congressional approval, and called upon Trump to send a bipartisan team to negotiate directly with the North Koreans.[165]

In November 2018, after American and Saudi officials announced that the Trump administration had halted its inflight refueling support for the Saudi-led coalition aircraft engaged in Yemen, Khanna called the decision "a major victory" while asserting the need for Congress to pass a resolution ensuring all American involvement was ended.[166] In February 2019, the House Foreign Affairs Committee advanced a bill ending American support for the Saudi intervention in Yemen. Khanna noted that more than "14 million Yemenis—half the country—are on the brink offamine, and at least 85,000 children have already died from hunger and disease as a result of the war" and called on Congress to "end American complicity in the atrocities in Yemen."[167] On February 13, after the House voted to withdraw support for the Saudis in Yemen, Khanna called the day "historic" and said he was "encouraged by the direction people are pushing our party to take on foreign policy, promoting restraint and human rights and with the sense they want Congress to play a much larger role."[168]

A supporter of a morenon-interventionist foreign policy,[104] Khanna wrote an op-ed for theLos Angeles Times with SenatorRand Paul on June 1, 2017, making the case against military interventions when US security is not at risk. They argued that the nation is weary of perpetual war since 2001, and that calls for regime change abroad have been a mistake.[169] Khanna has been critical of the strikes on Syria.[170]

On December 22, 2018, Khanna laid out the progressive case for withdrawal of military forces from Syria and Afghanistan, noting that Congress never authorized the involvement ofU.S. troops in the Syrian civil war.[171]

Khanna worked with former presidentJimmy Carter, who had agreed to travel toNorth Korea to meet withKim Jong Un; in 1994, Carter met with Kim's grandfather,Kim Il Sung.[172]

In 2019, Khanna was one of eight lawmakers to sign a pledge stating their intent "to fight to reclaim Congress's constitutional authority to conduct oversight of U.S. foreign policy and independently debate whether to authorize each new use of military force" and to bring "the Forever War to a responsible and expedient conclusion" after 17 years of U.S. military conflict.[173]

In February 2019, Khanna introduced a resolution to end theKorean War while leaving American troops in Korea that urged the Trump administration to give "a clear roadmap for achieving a permanent peace regime and the peaceful denuclearization of the Korean peninsula." In a statement, Khanna said diplomacy between North and South Korea had "created a once-in-a-generation opportunity to formally end this war" and advocated that Trump "work hand in hand with our ally, South Korean President Moon Jae-in, to bring the war to a close and advance toward the denuclearization of the peninsula."[174]

In 2019, Khanna and Senator Rand Paul led a bipartisan group of lawmakers in signing a letter to Trump asserting that it is "long past time to rein in the use of force that goes beyond congressional authorization" and they hoped this would "serve as a model for ending hostilities in the future—in particular, as you and your administration seek a political solution to ourinvolvement in Afghanistan."[175] In a statement, Khanna said, "The president cannot pursue a foreign policy agenda without the advice and consent, let alone the support, of the Congress" and thanked Paul for helping him "in bringing an end to these wars", citing the Constitution as not being partisan.[176]

Khanna withAlexandria Ocasio-Cortez,Pramila Jayapal and Brazilian PresidentLuiz Inácio Lula da Silva, February 2, 2023

Khanna has been critical ofBrazil's former presidentJair Bolsonaro, a far-right politician criticized for misogynistic, homophobic and anti-immigrant views who has been embraced by the Trump administration as an ally and partner.[177][178] In March 2019 Khanna and 29 other Democratic lawmakers wrote a letter to Secretary of StateMike Pompeo that read in part, "Since the election of far-right candidate Jair Bolsonaro as president, we have been particularly alarmed by the threat Bolsonaro's agenda poses to the LGBT community and other minority communities, women, labor activists, and political dissidents in Brazil. We are deeply concerned that, by targeting hard-won political and social rights, Bolsonaro is endangering Brazil's long-term democratic future".[178] Khanna also asked the Trump administration to investigate the case that imprisoned former Brazilian presidentLuiz Inácio Lula da Silva on corruption charges, followingThe Intercept's exposé that showed JudgeSergio Moro plotted with prosecutors to convict Lula and prevent the Workers' Party from returning to power.[179]

In 2023, Khanna was among 56 Democrats to vote in favor of H.Con.Res. 21, which directed PresidentJoe Biden to remove U.S. troops fromSyria within 180 days.[180][181]

Police violence

[edit]

Khanna led efforts in the House to make the standard for the use of force only as a last resort.[182] This was adopted in theGeorge Floyd Justice in Policing Act, which passed the House.[183] Khanna has also been a vocal advocate of abolishing the filibuster and passing voting rights legislation.[182]

Combating antisemitism on college campuses and internationally

[edit]

Khanna led a bipartisan resolution to tackle antisemitism on college campuses that provides funding for education about the Holocaust, ongoing antisemitism, and World War II.[184]

On April 25, 2018, 57 members of the House of Representatives, led by Khanna, released a condemnation ofHolocaust distortion in Ukraine and Poland. They criticized Poland'snew Holocaust law and Ukraine's2015 memory laws glorifyingUkrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) and its leaders, such asRoman Shukhevych.[185][186] The condemnation came in an open bipartisan letter to Deputy Secretary of StateJohn J. Sullivan.[187] The letter read in part, "We urge you to join us and human rights organizations in standing against anti-Semitism, xenophobia, and all forms of intolerance by calling for the Polish and Ukrainian governments to unequivocally reject Holocaust distortion and the honoring of Nazi collaborators and fully prosecute anti-Semitic crimes. We also ask that you detail what steps are being taken by the United States (U.S.) government to monitor instances of Holocaust distortion and ensure that the U.S. is not supporting or funding groups and individuals that promote or justify anti-Semitism. We believe these steps must include a firm request that these offensive laws be repealed."[188] California's State Assembly passed a separate resolution calling upon Congress to pressure Polish lawmakers to change this new Holocaust speech law.[189][190] Andrzej Pawluszek, an adviser to Polish Prime MinisterMateusz Morawiecki, called the claims in Congress's letter "irresponsible and shocking".[191] The Association of Jewish Organizations and Communities of Ukraine (Vaad of Ukraine) also rebuked the letter, calling it "anti-Ukrainiandefamation" like that used by Russian propaganda during thewar in Ukraine.[192][193]

Combating Hindu nationalism

[edit]

After the visit of Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan to the US in 2019, Khanna became the first Indian-American Congressman to join the Congressional Pakistan Caucus, which he claimed was to promote better ties between India and Pakistan, and in line with his pluralistic ideals for Hindus and Muslims.[194]

Varghese K. George ofThe Hindu called Khanna "an unequivocal and strong supporter of a pluralist America, and India-U.S. ties," who "for the same reason rejectsHindutva and its exclusive nationalism."[195] In a statement targeted at Tulsi Gabbard, Khanna said, "it is the duty of every American politician of Hindu faith to stand for pluralism, reject Hindutva, and speak for equal rights for Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Buddhists and Christians", a statement that was criticized in a letter published by theHindu American Foundation (HAF) and signed by what was described as "a record number of 230 Indian-American organisations in the US", who also objected to Khanna's membership in the Congressional Caucus on Pakistan.[196]

Biden Administration

[edit]

As of October 2021, Khanna had voted in line withJoe Biden's stated position 100% of the time.[197]

Abortion

[edit]

Khanna opposed theoverturning ofRoe v. Wade, calling it "heartbreaking". He said the decision "strips Americans of their basic freedom and endangers the health and safety of millions. It strips women of the right to make their own decisions about their bodies and their futures", especially low-income women, women of color, and women living in rural areas.[198]

Term limits

[edit]

Khanna has led a bill to limit Supreme Court justices' terms. In 2022, he called the Court's recent conservative decisions anti-egalitarian and anti-democratic.[199][200]

Free speech

[edit]

Khanna is an advocate of free speech. In 2022, the publication of theTwitter Files highlighted his efforts to stop the formerTwitter administration from censoring theNew York Post's reporting on theHunter Biden laptop controversy.[201][202][203][204]

  118. ^Khanna, Ro (January 1, 2023)."The New Industrial Age America Should Once Again Become a Manufacturing Superpower".Foreign Affairs. Foreign Affairs Magazine. RetrievedFebruary 8, 2023.[I]nnovation is intrinsically linked to production. Manufacturing companies account for more than half of U.S. domestic spending on research and development. And, as Intel chief Andrew Grove argued more than a decade ago, a key part of innovation is the "scaling" up that happens as new technologies move from prototype to mass production. That scaling happens less and less in the United States because so much manufacturing has shifted overseas. "Without scaling," Grove lamented, "we don't just lose jobs—we lose our hold on new technologies. Losing the ability to scale will ultimately damage our capacity to innovate."
