CORONA, Calif. (KESQ) – Local Congressman Ken Calvert confirmed he will be running for the new 40th District, one day after Prop 50 passed.
Calvert released a statement Wednesday:
“Californians in the newly drawn 40th District deserve a proven conservative they can trust and a fighter who has delivered results for Riverside and Orange County for decades,” said Congressman Ken Calvert. “No one else comes close to my record of service to the new 40th. I’ve lived here my entire life and already represent the majority of this district in Congress. I look forward to helping President Trump to deliver lower taxes, to bring down housing costs, secure our borders, make our streets safe and bring real results for the families of this district for years to come. Together, we will Make America Great Again.”
The new 40th District would move Calvert away from the Coachella Valley; however, according to his office, he currently represents 51% of the new district.
