The following issues were listed on Khanna's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

“

Economy: Promoting economic competitiveness and opportunity in the 21st century must be America’s top priority. A strong economy produces good paying jobs, grows the middle class, and allows people who worked hard their entire lives to retire with dignity.

Education: As a Member of Congress, I will fight to return our focus to making college affordable and preparing students for the jobs of the 21st century.

Traffic Congestion: I propose to redistribute the $68B that is allocated for the bullet train among the congressional districts so that local municipalities can determine how to invest it. If divided evenly, that would leave approximately $1.3B per district for our district.

Environment: Encourage energy efficiency and water conservation. Water and energy are two of the biggest issues of our time, and Ro will bring together stakeholders and experts to find a solution that works for everybody.

Immigration: Immigrants have been essential to Silicon Valley’s innovative and meritocratic ethos. They have founded 40% of the companies in the tech sector that were financed by venture capital and then went public in the United States – including Yahoo, eBay, Intel, and Google – creating jobs and making our business culture more dynamic. To continue as the world’s incubator for innovation, we need to encourage the most talented and motivated people to locate here in Silicon Valley.

Khanna's campaign website listed the following issues:^[105]

“

The Economy: "Promoting economic competitiveness and opportunity in the 21st century must be America’s top priority. A strong economy produces good paying jobs, grows the middle class, and allows people who worked hard their entire lives to retire with dignity."

Education: "I owe my success today to the fact that I was able to attend fantastic schools – both public and private. But I’m still paying off my student debt, and I know firsthand that affordable higher education is essential to giving hardworking students the opportunity at a fulfilling career with economic security."

The Environment: "The South Bay is one of the most beautiful regions of the country, with incredible forests, hiking trails, and parks. These natural attributes attract people to live and work in Silicon Valley. Unfortunately, preserving the environment is no longer an abstract debate. The science is indisputable – climate change is happening at an alarming rate, threatening crops and coastlines and causing severe weather patterns that could fundamentally alter our way of life."

Women in the Workplace: "I am committed to ensuring that women are treated fairly and have an equal opportunity to build a strong economic future for themselves and their families. Having successful women in every sector of the economy moves America forward – bolstering our position as a social and economic leader in the 21st century."

Working Families: "A strong middle class has always been the cornerstone of our nation’s success. Unfortunately, middle class families are struggling today due to stagnating or decreasing incomes coupled with growing costs of housing, education, and health care – problems exacerbated by misguided government policies."
