Hi everyone. Sorry for the mix-up yesterday. Let's try this again!

I'm Ro Khanna: Democratic representative from Silicon Valley, and founder of the No PAC Antitrust caucuses in the House. I'm eager to answer any and all questions you have! But first, a few quick things about me and my background:

As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I strongly believe in a foreign policy of restraint and diplomacy. I support Medicare for All, debt-free college, and have recently introduced legislation to expand the Earned Income Tax Credit — a bill that would give all working families a long overdue raise.

Earlier this year, I traveled to Appalachia to work with local elected officials to ensure that coal miners aren't left behind in our growing technology-focused world. And this past month, I became the first freshman member of Congress to pass a bill this year when the VALOR Act was passed — legislation that will provide veterans with tech-training and apprenticeships.

I also just passed a resolution in the House that acknowledges our involvement in the barbaric, Saudi-led war in Yemen as unconstitutional — a big first step toward ending our involvement in that humanitarian crisis entirely.

EDIT: That's all the time I have but thank you so much for all of your questions! If I missed any big questions, please feel free to send me a message on Twitter or Facebook.

- Ro
