Calvert wins reelection in Southern California House race

Rep. Ken Calvert (R-Calif.) is projected to win reelection in his Southern California House seat, according to Decision Desk HQ.

Calvert faced a challenge from Democrat Will Rollins, a former federal prosecutor, for California’s 41st Congressional District situated between Los Angeles and San Diego. The district narrowly went for Donald Trump by a point in 2020.

The two previously ran against each other in 2022, with Calvert defeating Rollins by close to 5 points last cycle.

Calvert is the longest serving House Republican in California, having entered Congress in 1993.
