17th District
Matchup: Rep. Mike Honda (D) vs. Ro Khanna (D)
Dynamic: Honda, an eight-term congressman and reliable liberal vote in the House, is facing a stiff challenge from fellow Democrat Ro Khanna, a former tech industry lawyer and Obama appointee. Honda has the backing of most establishment Democrats, while Khanna has drawn support from Silicon Valley executives in this high-profile rematch from 2014. That year, Honda prevailed, 51.8% to 48.2%.
Interesting fact: The district has the nation’s highest Asian majority, and the only one outside of Hawaii.
