Meet Ro Khanna
Presidential Candidate
Ro Khanna has established himself as a leading progressive voice in American politics, serving as a U.S. Representative from California's 17th congressional district since 2017. Born to immigrant parents and raised with strong values of public service, he graduated from the University of Chicago and Yale Law School before working as a lawyer and teaching economics at Stanford University.

Vice Presidential Nominee
Dr. Marion Nestle
Dr. Marion Nestle is a renowned expert in nutrition and food policy. As Professor Emerita at NYU, her career has focused on exposing corporate influence in public health and advocating for science-based regulations. Her books like "Food Politics" have shaped national dialogue around nutrition reform.
With extensive experience in academia and advocacy, Nestle brings credibility and insight to the campaign’s mission of FDA reform and nutrition-focused policy change.
Policy Vision
Restoring Integrity to America's Food System
The Khanna-Nestle administration will focus on three pillars for reform:
Regulatory Independence
Create an independent Food Safety and Quality Administration to enforce transparent, science-based standards, free from industry influence.
Food Democracy
Promote local food systems, transparent labeling, and equitable access to healthy foods in all communities.
Preventive Health Infrastructure
Integrate nutrition into healthcare and education while holding corporations accountable for harmful food marketing and practices.
Together, Khanna and Nestle will reimagine America’s relationship with food as a foundation of public health, sustainability, and justice.
