Ken Calvert wins reelection in District 41

Several California races still too close to call

A handful of key California races remain too close to call, even on Day 6 after the Nov. 5 election day.

RIVERSIDE COUNTY, Calif. - Republican Congressman Ken Calvert won reelection in California's 41st Congressional District against Democratic challenger Will Rollins.

The Associated Press called the race at 12:45 p.m. on Nov. 13 with Calvert leading 51.3% to 48.7%.

Calvert declared victory Monday night releasing the following statement, "I’m honored that Riverside County voters have once again placed their trust in me to continue delivering results for them in Washington. This is a hard-fought victory that shows voters want someone who will put results over partisan politics. Together we’ll continue working to secure our border, bring down prices for working families and ensure law enforcement has all the tools they need to keep our communities safe. Serving Riverside County has been an honor of a lifetime. As a lifelong resident of this community, I will keep fighting every day for this region, our state, and our country."

Race for California's House District 41

GOP incumbent Ken Calvert and Democratic challenger Will Rollins face off for California's House District 41.

Calvert is the longest-serving Republican in California’s congressional delegation, having been first elected in 1992. Two years ago, he defeated Rollins by about 5% points.

California’s once deeply conservative 41st congressional district was redrawn in 2021. It now looks like a "w" stretching from Corona to Palm Springs.

"I want to work hard to bring the cost of living back down to an affordable level for folks," Calvert told FOX 11. "I want to make sure they can walk safely in their neighborhoods and feel like they’re not going to be attacked."

Rollins' campaign said in a statement released on Monday, November 11, saying there could be at least 80,000 votes left to be counted in the 41st congressional district.

"We view the race as too close to call and will continue to monitor the results as we wait for potentially 20% or more of the electorate to have their voice heard," Rollins' campaign wrote, in part, on Monday.
