Ro Khanna

Khanna an Indian-American with a lawyer background, is very much eyeing for the Democratic ticket wherein he will be challenging his fellow Democrat Mike Honda, who is the present and a seven-term Congressman at the primaries.

Khanna, who has served earlier as the deputy assistant secretary of commerce in the Obama lead administration, has hit the campaign quite early as expected. He was also in headlines as one of the biggest fund-raisers in this year's elections, by having collected $1,975,000 in cash already.

That doesn’t looks surprising given the fact that Congressional district is home to many of America's top tech companies such as Apple, Google, Yahoo, Facebook, Intel and Tesla.

However, Khanna dismissed such talk. "I'm honoured by the overwhelming support that I've received from technology leaders in Silicon Valley. But he later added that representing this area is not about one industry or one company," he added.
