There’s a lot riding on Election Day in Silicon Valley. Here's a breakdown of some locals races and where each candidate is expected to spend their night partying/crying into their drink.

Silicon Valley needs to lead the discussion in Congress, and Ro Khanna offers the best chance to start a new dialogue.

Two new polls show candidates are neck-and-neck in both the San Jose mayor's race and the battle for Silicon Valley's 17th Congressional District seat. But, as expected, not everyone agrees on the numbers.

Silicon Valley Congressman Mike Honda faces challenger Ro Khanna at 6:30pm tonight in their first and only debate before Election Day. The event will be televised on NBC affiliate KNTV and live-streamed on NBC Bay Area's website.

The source that provided emails for San Jose Inside’s recent stories on pay-to-play coordination between Mike Honda’s office and his re-election campaign has decided to come forward, after new information surfaced about his relationship with former co-workers.

Rep. Mike Honda’s office denies it engaged in a pay-to-play scheme to grant campaign contributors and prospects access to government events, despite internal emails released last week by Metro and San Jose Inside that suggest otherwise. An additional, previously unseen email could make Honda’s claims of strict separation more difficult.

As one of this year’s fiercest congressional races approaches the finish line, internal emails indicate that staffers for seven-term incumbent Mike Honda (D-San Jose) violated House rules prohibiting mixing campaign activity with official business. They also suggest a pay-to-play ethic—conferring benefits to contributors and prospective donors—has taken hold in the office of a congressman who has cast himself as a leading champion of the poor.

Here comes the clutter of political advertisements. The public's least favorite time of year, when mailboxes are full of negative mailers and television ads assault the senses. First rule to remember: there is nothing that can't be said in politics, no matter how outrageous the claim.

Rep. Mike Honda agreed with Huffington Post and San Jose State University to an Oct. 6 debate date. But challenger Ro Khanna says he has still yet to receive an invite.

Rep. Mike Honda may finally have agreed to a debate date—it’s just he didn’t consult his opponent, Ro Khanna, on the details.

Congressman Mike Honda is no stranger to falling asleep in meetings and missing votes. But it appears that absenteeism has carried over to his re-election campaign.

Congressman Mike Honda (D-San Jose) and other lawmakers are calling on Fox News to fire Bob Beckel after the talking head called “Chinamen” the single biggest threat to national security.

The Food and Drug Administration is the man at the end of the bar that you would prefer tells his story walking. His claims are rote, the bark of calamity whistling through his toothless bite. But the FDA’s continued ban on allowing gay and bisexual men to donate blood is not toothless—it’s spineless.

Tuesday's primary election told us a number of things: Ro Khanna has more than an uphill fight against Mike Honda, spoilers altered the San Jose mayor's race and libertarians in Silicon Valley have disappeared.

Rep. Mike Honda cruised past challenger Ro Khanna in early election results. Still, both made it to the November runoff, thanks to California's top-two primary system.

It's election day and with it comes a ballot packed with key decisions for Santa Clara County, though voter turnout is expected to be pretty low.
