Join us for an in-person town hall, which was originally planned with Congressman Ro Khanna! Ro Khanna was unfortunately called back to Washington, D.C., at the last moment and he will be unable to attend. Unlike some representatives who hide from their constituents, Congressman Ro Khanna is showing up for Town Halls (but not this one) to hear directly from you. Come on down and let's talk about the big stuff: Democracy, Healthcare, Jobs, and how the GOP and Trump's administration's policies are hitting working-class families. This is your chance to skip the political noise, share what's really going on in your neighborhood, and have a real conversation about our future. The Congressman would have been more than happy to hear from you and take your questions! See the new event plans below.

Dear Town Hall Registrants,
I’m sorry to inform you that the Town Hall with Ro Khanna isn’t going to happen today as planned. The House of Representatives has called its members back to DC for a vote on the budget Wednesday. Rep. Khanna has cancelled his appearances in Lincoln and Grass Valley so he can be there for the vote. Please see note from his staff below.
We ARE, however, reprogramming the Town Hall to discuss what Prop 50 means to Placer County. Nick Bennett, Chair of the Placer County Democratic Party Central Committee, will lay out the features of the new Congressional maps drawn in Prop 50, how Placer County residents will be advantaged by having three Representatives instead of one, and Democrats will be collaborating to win the 2026 election. We will also have presentations from Democratic candidates or their representatives for Congress in Placer County’s three Congressional Districts, and our candidates for State Senate and State Assembly. They are:
Heidi Hall, Candidate CD-3 (https://www.heidihall.com/) Luca Moretti, for current Representative and 2026 candidate Mike Thompson, CD-4 (https://mikethompson.house.gov/) Eric Jones, Candidate CD-4 (https://www.ericjones.us/) Tyler Vandenberg, Candidate CD-6 (https://www.tv4ca.com/) David Hildebrand, Candidate CA State Senate, District 6 (https://www.votehildebrand.com/about) Neva Parker, Candidate CA Assembly, District 5 (https://www.nevaparkerforassembly.com/)
This is a great opportunity to hear from our candidates how they see the challenges we are facing, and how they intend to govern on our behalf when elected to public office.
We are all disappointed that Rep. Khanna won’t be with us today, but we hope you will joint our Town Hall to learn more about the potential for positive change that Prop 50 represents for Placer County.
Sincerely,
The Placer County Democratic Party
From Ro Khanna's Team:
Dear friends,
I’m so sorry to share that we have to bring down our town hall with Congressman Ro Khanna on 11/11. Speaker Johnson just announced that the House will take up a vote on the Republicans’ continuing resolution to reopen the government on Wednesday, and Ro must return to Washington, D.C. to be present for it.
As you can imagine, his first duty is to represent his constituents in Congress—especially at a moment as consequential as this. Many of you may have also seen that Ro was the first member of Congress to call on Senator Schumer to resign his leadership role yesterday, and with tensions running high, he simply cannot miss this vote.
The odds of this conflict arising were incredibly low, and we truly did not anticipate this outcome. Unfortunately, this development is out of our control.
We are deeply sorry for the inconvenience and disappointment this causes. I hope you’ll understand that being in D.C. for this critical vote is part of Ro’s duty to the people he serves—and that this moment demands our elected officials be present in the halls of Congress, now more than ever.
We hope to get another town hall on the books in the near future.
With sincere apologies and gratitude for your understanding,
Congressman Ro Khanna and his team
