What they stand for
Khanna has spent time focused on a few core fights. Each is tied to bills actually introduced or votes actually cast.
- 01Supports state-level universal health care frameworksKhanna sponsored the State-Based Universal Health Care Act of 2025 (HR.4406), a bill that would provide a pathway for individual states to establish universal health care coverage systems. The bill has been reintroduced across multiple Congresses and carries 34 cosponsors in its current form, indicating sustained legislative engagement on this policy area.
- 02Favors government transparency and records disclosureKhanna sponsored the Epstein Files Transparency Act (HR.4405), which was enacted into law. The legislation requires the release of federal records related to Jeffrey Epstein. Khanna also sponsored the Government Service Delivery Improvement Act (HR.5887), another enacted measure addressing how federal agencies deliver services to the public.
- 03Supports limits on Supreme Court tenureKhanna sponsored the Supreme Court Term Limits and Regular Appointments Act of 2025 (HR.1074), which would establish fixed terms for Supreme Court justices and create a schedule for regular appointments. The bill has been reintroduced across multiple Congresses and currently has 11 cosponsors.
- 04Opposes institutional child abuse in residential programsKhanna sponsored the Stop Institutional Child Abuse Act (HR.2955), a bill in committee that attracted between 100 and 199 cosponsors, addressing standards and oversight for residential programs serving youth. The bill targets practices in institutional settings that advocates have identified as harmful to minors.
- 05Supports restrictions on fossil fuel subsidies and exportsKhanna sponsored the Gasoline Export Ban Act of 2026 (HR.8266), which would restrict U.S. gasoline exports, and the End Polluter Welfare for Enhanced Oil Recovery Act of 2026 (HR.8108), which would eliminate federal subsidies associated with enhanced oil recovery operations. Both bills have been reintroduced across multiple Congresses.

Khanna defeated eight-term incumbent Democratic representative Mike Honda in the November 2016 general election, having first run for the same seat in 2014. He endorsed Bernie Sanders for president in 2016 and co-chaired Sanders' 2020 presidential campaign. In the House, Khanna has sponsored enacted legislation including the Epstein Files Transparency Act (HR.4405) and the Government Service Delivery Improvement Act (HR.5887). He has also introduced the State-Based Universal Health Care Act of 2025 (HR.4406), which would establish a framework for states to create universal health care systems, and the Supreme Court Term Limits and Regular Appointments Act of 2025 (HR.1074).
