Ro Khanna, a U.S. Congress member representing California’s 17th district since 2017, recently shared updates on his legislative work and public engagements through a series of tweets. Born in Philadelphia in 1976 and currently residing in Fremont, Khanna has been active in addressing economic issues and healthcare challenges affecting Americans.
On July 8, 2025, Khanna announced a town hall meeting scheduled for Sunday, July 13, from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm PT at Grimmer Elementary School’s multi-use room in Fremont, California. He stated that the purpose of the event is to discuss his latest work in Congress and within the district. The tweet includes an RSVP link for those interested in attending “Sunday, July 13, from 4:30 pm – 6:00 pm PT at Grimmer Elementary School (multi-use room), 43030 Newport Drive, Fremont, CA 94538, I’m hosting a town hall to discuss my latest work in Congress and the district.”
On July 9, Khanna highlighted the financial strain faced by Americans due to credit card debt exceeding one trillion dollars. He emphasized that “78% of Americans say Trump’s tariffs will make it harder to manage or repay debt.” In response to this issue, he advocates for relief measures including capping credit card interest rates at ten percent “Americans are drowning under more than a trillion dollars in credit card debt.”
In another tweet on July 9th, Khanna expressed concern over the closure of hospitals across the country since 2010. He noted that Trump’s budget bill proposes cutting Medicaid funding from hospitals already struggling financially. He urged resistance against policies that remove essential resources from ordinary citizens “More than 150 hospitals have closed since 2010 while another 267 have started to shut down.”
Ro Khanna’s efforts continue as he addresses key issues impacting his constituents and broader national concerns.
