House of Representatives member Ro Khanna said his campaign currently has $16.6 million ($16.6 million) in cash, the highest among the eight Indian-American House of Representatives members and newly elected members. This information has come to light from a review of the records of the Federal Election Commission (FEC). Ro Khanna's election campaign also stated that he had no debt.
California Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna's campaign cash was more than the combined amount of seven other Indian-American lawmakers and newly elected members by about $11.1 million.
Ro Khanna's campaign sources said that through October 14, it had received $15.3 million and spent $9.5 million during the 2026 election cycle. His campaign's total cash balance during this period exceeded its total receipts.
Among other sitting lawmakers, Representative Pramila Jayapal of Washington reported $1.75 million in cash, while Amy Bera of California had $1.65 million in cash.
At the same time, Suhas Subramaniam of Virginia reported having about $ 7.46 lakh in cash. Pramila Jayapal and Suhas Subramaniam had no debt while Amy Bera was reported to have a debt of $80,000.

Indian-American newly elected members had relatively low cash reserves before winning the elections. Amish Shah, who defeated Republican nominee Jay Feeley in Arizona's 1st Congressional District, reported receipts of $5.7 million and expenses of $5.5 million as of October 14. He had a balance of about $2.06 million and a debt of about $37,000.
Pia Dandiya, who defeated Republican candidate Casey Askar in Florida's 22nd District, reported receipts of $4.6 million and expenses of $3.9 million. His campaign had approximately $7.35 million in cash and $2.47 million in debt.
However, the total receipts of KC Askar were more than that of Piya Dandiya. He received $7.4 million, which included a self-loan of $6.69 million. His campaign spent $5.5 million, had $1.9 million in cash, and after paying off a $4 million loan, still had a debt of $6.29 million.
Jay Feeley reported receipts of $3.8 million and expenses of $3.6 million, leaving him with approximately $1.83 million in cash and a debt of $3.30 million.
Among the Indian-American lawmakers reviewed, Thanedar had $5.9 million in cash as of September 30, the second highest amount. However, his campaign also had a debt of $14.44 million, which was significantly more than its cash. His campaign received $3.2 million and spent $4.2 million during the election cycle.
Raja Krishnamurthy's House campaign account had about $47,000 as of September 30, while his Senate campaign account had about $33,000.
The House campaign account recorded receipts of $3.9 million and expenditures of $21 million, while the Senate campaign account recorded receipts of $31.6 million and expenditures of $31.5 million, respectively.
The Senate campaign's receipts also included $19.4 million in transfers from other authorized committees. It is important to take such transfers into account when comparing election fund raising because directly adding receipts from different campaign accounts can result in double counting of the same amount of money.
