California's 41st Congressional District candidates
Calvert is a senior member of the House Committee on Appropriations. First
elected to the US House in 1992 to represent California's 43rd
Congressional District, Calvert is the longest-serving Republican of the
state's congressional delegation and one of the most senior members
serving in the legislative body.
Prior to his time in Congress, the Riverside County Republican served in
leadership roles with several local community volunteer organizations,
including the Corona Chamber of Commerce, the Corona Rotary, and the
Corona-Norco Family YMCA.
Calvert, who clinched former President Donald Trump's endorsement along
with endorsements from the California Republican Party and the state's
entire Republican House delegation, previously opposed same-sex marriage
but joined 46 of his GOP colleagues to vote in support of the Respect for
Marriage Act, which would codify the right to same-sex marriage in federal
law.
Rollins, Calvert's challenger, is a former federal prosecutor who focused
on counterterrorism and counterintelligence cases in Southern California.
He decided to run for Congress after witnessing the January 6 attack on
the US Capitol and working on some of the insurrection cases. A gay man,
Rollins lives and campaigns with his partner.
Rollins trailed behind Calvert in the nonpartisan primary, securing 30.4%
of the vote to Calvert's 48.2%. Both men advanced to the general election.
A month after the primary, Rollins was added to the Democratic
Congressional Campaign Committee's "Red to Blue" program, which pumps
resources into tight races that national Democratic party leaders believe
can be flipped from Republican to Democrat.
Voting history for California's 41st Congressional District
California's 41st Congressional District, located in Riverside County,
covers a swath of the Coachella Valley and includes Palm Springs, Lake
Elsinore, and parts of Corona and Riverside.
Trump scored a 7 percentage point margin of victory over President Joe
Biden under the district's previous boundaries in 2020 before it was
redrawn to excise solid GOP areas and take in a section of the Coachella
Valley in redistricting following the 2020 Census, making it competitive
and less Republican.
The district lost solid red areas such as Temecula and Murrieta while
gaining blue territory, most notably Palm Springs, the first city in
America to elect an all-LGBTQ city council.
The money race
According to OpenSecrets, Calvert has raised more than $3.3 million, spent
$3 million, and has $730,000 on hand, as of October 19. His opponent,
Rollins, has raised more than $3.3 million, spent more than $2.5 million,
and has $755,000 cash on hand.
As of late October, more than a dozen super PACs, national party
committees, politically active nonprofits, and other non-candidate groups
have together spent more than $900,000 to advocate for or against
candidates in this race, including during the race's primary phase. Most
of the spending is in support of Rollins.
What experts say
The race between Calvert and Rollins is rated as "lean Republican" by The
Cook Political Report and "likely Republican" by Sabato's Crystal Ball at
the University of Virginia Center for Politics.
