Ro Khanna, current representative of California’s 17th District, has been an active voice on multiple issues affecting his constituents and the broader public. The following are his recent statements addressing celebrations, economic concerns, and healthcare regulations.
On March 30, 2025, Khanna extended greetings for Eid al-Fitr. He wrote: “Wishing the warmest greetings to all those celebrating Eid al-Fitr in my district and around the world as the holy month of Ramadan comes to an end. May the spirit of community and compassion continue throughout the year.”
On March 31, 2025, he turned his focus to financial protections for Americans. He stated: “Overdraft caps help prevent Big Banks from exploiting working-class Americans. We need to help Americans adjust to the rising cost of living and protect them from falling into a cycle of debt.”
More recently, on April 1, 2025, Khanna addressed the impact of Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) on the pharmaceutical industry. He commented: “Since January 2024, over 3,000 pharmacies across the U.S. have been run out of business by PBMs jacking up costs. It’s time to rein in Big Pharma’s market control. Let’s pass my Prescription Drug Price Relief Act with @SenSanders and put a stop to PBM greed.”
