Rep. Ro Khanna, a member of the U.S. Congress representing California’s 17th district since 2017, has recently shared insights and updates through his social media platform. Khanna, who succeeded Mike Honda in office, has been active in discussing educational funding, community engagement, and childcare reform.
On March 22, 2025, Rep. Khanna highlighted the financial responsibilities of the Department of Education in a tweet: “The Department of Education is responsible for:
– $18.4 billion in Title I funding for high-poverty K-12 schools.
– $15.5 billion in IDEA funding for students with disabilities.
– $1.6 trillion for federal student loans that allow low-income kids to go to college.
This will”
The following day, on March 23, 2025, he expressed gratitude towards participants of his town hall meeting held in Santa Clara: “Thank you to all who joined me in person and online for my town hall in Santa Clara.
I’m honored to have been able to speak and rally support for protecting our vital institutions and federal workers.”
Later that same day, Khanna addressed the issue of affordable childcare in America with a call to action: “More than 40% of American families struggle to find affordable child care. We have to do better.
It’s time to pass my bill and make childcare $10/day while paying workers at least $20/hour.”
