CA-40: Amid The Cold Chill of a Holiday Lull, a Race for Congress in OC Heats Up
Despite the approaching cold and the upcoming holiday season, next year’s primary race between two sitting Republican members of Congress for a redistricted seat is already heating up.
Congresswoman Young Kim – who up until last month with the passage of Prop. 50 was gearing up to defend herself from national Democratic Party efforts to unseat her – now finds herself up against a Republican colleague, Congressman Ken Calvert vying for the 40th Congressional District seat.
In recent weeks, several high-ranking OC Republicans and influential political groups have thrown their weight behind Calvert, a key congressional leader currently representing District 41 and holding sway over appropriations, who has reportedly been calling leaders across OC himself asking for endorsements.
“I’m not taking a single vote for granted,” Calvert said in a statement forwarded to Voice of OC in response to questions about his current outreach efforts in OC.
