Results run through the 2024 elections; nothing from 2026 is shown until it is certified. A margin is a fact about one election, never a score of how well a member represents anyone, and PORKER does not rank members by it.

How has California’s 17th district done while Rep. Khanna served?

2017 to 2021 in CA-17: typical household income was up 16% after inflation, the share of people below the poverty line was about the same, and the share of workers looking for a job was up 1.6 points.

Each mini chart has its own scale, fitted to its lines (it does not start at zero), so compare the numbers, not the heights. Teal = district, oxblood = state, grey = U.S.

While they served, not because of them. This shows what happened in California’s 17th district during Khanna’s time representing it (2017 to now). It does not say what the member did or caused. It is not a score, and PORKER never ranks members on it.

Only one set of district lines is shown. CA-17 was redrawn in 2012 and again in 2022, and a redrawn district is a different place. So this card shows only the longest stretch on the same lines during the term, 2017 to 2021 (no 2020 yearly estimate), not the full 2017 to now.

Read this first. These are counts of records Congress.gov lists. Many bills never get a CBO estimate or a report, so a zero is not a mark against a member. We never show this as a score.
