Background and policy positions
The official candidate entry establishes that Khanna is seeking a U.S. House seat as a Democrat in Virginia’s 1st District. It does not establish Khanna’s occupation, prior experience or connections to the district because no biography is on file.
Khanna also has no documented positions on federal policy questions. That means the record does not identify a stance on any issue that could come before the U.S. House. The same is true for every other listed candidate in this contest.
Campaign finance and election date
No totals are on file for money raised, money spent or cash on hand for Khanna. Those three figures are also not on file for any of the other 10 candidates.
The race is identified as a contested general election for the U.S. House. Voting is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026. Candidate biographies, documented issue positions, finance figures and any updates to the candidate list would add detail to the choices before voters.
