CA-41: Meet the 10 candidates campaigning to take on Ken Calvert in the 2026 midterm election

The midterms are coming up in 2026, and candidates vying for California's 41st Congressional District are already firing up their campaigns to run against longtime incumbent Rep. Ken Calvert.

Republican voters are using their donations to fight against Democrats who are pushing to turn the district blue. As of July 14, Calvert has raised more funds than all of his challengers combined — $2.5 million, to be exact, according to the latest filings by the Federal Election Commission.

In 2024, Democrat Will Rollins faced Calvert and lost by a mere 3% margin of defeat, two years after Rollins also unsuccessfully challenged the incumbent.

Rollins announced that he will not be running in this election cycle, but there is a growing list of newcomers who have stepped up. Fundraising and campaign efforts are only just beginning, so there are bound to be shifts on the ballot come next year. Even so, this race could play a role in the Democrats' fight for a House majority, so it's one to watch closely.
