Incumbent Democrat Ro Khanna dominates fundraising with over $16 million cash on hand as of late March, bolstering his position in the June 2 top-two primary for California's 17th Congressional District, a solidly Democratic seat where Kamala Harris won 67% in 2024. Challengers include fellow Democrats Ethan Agarwal and Mike Katz, Republicans Jennie Ha Phan and Ritesh Tandon—who recently launched his fourth bid—and Libertarian Joe Dehn, but none match Khanna's resources amid certified filings finalized March 26. No public primary polls exist, though race ratings remain Solid Democratic. Early voting begins May 4, with top two advancers proceeding to the November 3 general regardless of party. Recent mid-decade redistricting via 2025 Proposition 50 preserved the district's Democratic tilt.
