Ro Khanna

Overview

Ro Khanna is a Democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives from California with 510 recorded votes in the dataset. His voting record reflects a consistently progressive approach across most major policy areas. He frequently supports healthcare legislation, foreign policy measures, and taxation bills, while regularly opposing budget proposals, housing-related bills, and banking and finance measures that have come to the floor — a pattern consistent with disagreement with the policy direction of those particular bills rather than opposition to the topic itself. On defense and national security, Khanna shows a nuanced record. He voted in favor of the Take Care of America's Veterans Act and supported a War Powers Resolution directing the removal of U.S. forces from hostilities in Lebanon, while voting against the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027. This suggests he differentiates between supporting military personnel and questioning broader military authorization and spending. In the areas of environment and energy, Khanna voted against a congressional disapproval resolution that would have overturned an EPA rule related to California pollution control standards, indicating support for environmental regulations. His overall 35.3% yea rate in this category largely reflects opposition to bills that would roll back environmental protections. On technology — a notable area given his Silicon Valley district — his votes are evenly split at 50%, suggesting he evaluates tech-related legislation on a case-by-case basis. Khanna's record on healthcare shows strong support, with a 69.2% yea rate and recent votes backing motions related to Medicaid protections and lowering health care premiums. His single recorded vote on reproductive rights was a yea, and he has supported education and labor-related measures at rates above 60%.
