California Rep. Ken Calvert walks down the House steps after votes on Sept. 3. (Bill Clark/CQ Roll Call) By Daniela Altimari Posted November 10, 2026 at 2:44pm Rep. Ken Calvert defeated Rep. Young Kim in a redrawn Southern California district that pitted the two Republicans against one another. Calvert was leading his rival by 7 points Monday night when The Associated Press called the race for California’s 40th District with more than 70 percent of the vote in. Calvert, who chairs the powerful House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, is the longest-serving Republican in the California delegation, first winning election to Congress in 1992. The race was reshaped by the Golden State’s new voter-approved House map, drawn by state Democrats in response to mid-decade redistricting by Texas Republicans. The new map dismantled Calvert’s 41st District in Riverside County, transforming it into a safely blue Democratic seat in the Los Angeles area.
