Issue Position

By: Ro Khanna
Date: Jan. 1, 2020
Issues: Economy and Fiscal

Ro was appointed to Committee on the Budget in Congress which oversees the federal budget and reviews the annual budget resolution. Ro called on his fellow Democrats in Congress to support a more progressive economic platform. Ro travelled to rural West Virginia, Iowa, and Ohio, positioning myself as Silicon Valley's ambassador to parts of the country that have been left out of the digital revolution.

Ro knows we need to build a strong 21st century economy from the bottom up. As a member of Congress, he will fight to:

*Make our district a hub for advanced manufacturing to create good paying jobs.
*Increase wages and benefits to address the high cost of living in the Bay Area and increase the minimum wage.
*Create an economy in which everybody can succeed, and nobody is left behind.
*Create opportunities for skilled, older workers to leverage their experience and get jobs in the Silicon Valley economy.
