Ken Calvert led the primary for California’s reshaped 40th Congressional District, with Young Kim in second, setting up a likely November contest between the incumbents. The article also reports results in several other Inland Empire House races and explains the redistricting behind the contests.
Election returns put Ken Calvert first in the reshaped 40th District primary with 36% and Young Kim second with 21.6%. The article said returns were still being processed but the two incumbents appeared likely to face each other in November. Calvert thanked supporters and said he looked forward to winning the race.
The article also reported results in the 35th, 48th, 23rd, 39th and 25th District races. It says Proposition 50, approved in a 2025 special election, allowed California’s Legislature to redraw congressional boundaries; supporters cited Texas’s redistricting, while opponents called the measure a political ploy akin to “gerrymandering.”
