Incumbent U.S. Representative Ro Khanna holds a commanding position in California's 17th Congressional District nonpartisan top-two primary held on June 2, 2026. The district spans parts of Alameda and Santa Clara counties, and the top two vote recipients advance to the November general election regardless of party. Khanna faces Democratic challengers Ethan Agarwal and Mike Katz alongside Republican contenders Ritesh Tandon and Jennie Ha Phan. His established incumbency, name recognition, and fundraising advantage have kept him as the clear frontrunner with minimal late-campaign shifts or major endorsements altering the field. Early vote tallies reinforce this baseline dynamic ahead of full results.
