Indian-American Ro Khanna Gets A Boost For His House Run
WASHINGTON: Ro Khanna, a former Indian-American Obama administration official, has received a boost in his campaign to unseat a seven-term California lawmaker with a couple of major state newspapers endorsing him.
San Jose Mercury News and San Francisco Chronicle have both voiced their preference for Khanna, 37, former deputy assistant secretary in the commerce department.
Fellow Democrat Mike Honda has represented the 17th Congressional district-the first majority Asian-American district in the heart of Silicon Valley for 14 years.
"Ro Khanna's time has come ... We recommend Khanna... even though the incumbent is the venerable Mike Honda, whose personal graciousness and alignment with Democratic and labour causes have endeared him to many," Mercury News editorial board wrote.
Khanna "has prepared himself well through his career choices and by undertaking thoughtful analysis of the big issues affecting Silicon Valley's ability to thrive," it said.
An intellectual property attorney, Khanna has "developed theories on how to revive manufacturing in this country without disengaging from the world economy and wrote a book about it," Mercury News noted.
