LOS ANGELES — Rep. Ken Calvert, the longest-serving Republican member of California’s congressional delegation, won reelection in Riverside County despite being drawn into a less favorable district during the decennial reconfiguring of congressional maps.
Calvert beat Democrat Will Rollins, a former federal prosecutor, in a district that became much more competitive this year, in part because of the inclusion of one of the nation’s largest concentrations of LGBTQ voters. The Associated Press called the race Monday, though official results will take longer.
Calvert, 69, was first elected to Congress in a 1992 contest decided by fewer than 600 votes. Born and raised in Corona, where he still lives, Calvert has coasted to reelection for much of the past three decades.
