POLICY WIRE — California, USA — Republican Ken Calvert has emerged victorious in a competitive race for the U.S. House of Representatives representing the newly redrawn 40th Congressional District. The victory marked a rare intraparty clash between two sitting members vying for one of California’s remaining safe seats.
Calvert, a veteran legislator from Corona with 30 years of experience, defeated three-term incumbent Young Kim. Kim, a resident of Anaheim Hills who has served six years in the House, had already cast her own ballot before the results were finalized Monday.
The contest was described as a high-stakes battle between two GOP incumbents in the Southern California landscape. With this win, Calvert secures his seat in the district following the intensely contested primary.
