The Riverside Sheriffs’ Association endorsed Rep. Ken Calvert, R- Corona, in the race for the new 40th District, Calvert’s office announced Thursday.
“Ken Calvert is a true champion for law enforcement here in Riverside County and in Washington, D.C.,” said Riverside Sheriffs’ Association President Jose Santos. “The Riverside Sheriffs’ Association is proud to endorse Ken and urge voters throughout the 40th District to send him back to Congress to keep fighting for public safety.”
The endorsement from the RSA adds to the list of over 100 local officials, conservative groups and law enforcement officials, according to Calvert’s office.
“I am honored to have the support of Riverside Sheriffs’ Association. For too long, families in our district have paid the price for Gavin Newsom’s disastrous ‘soft-on-crime’ agenda and the radical policies in Sacramento that prioritize criminals over victims,” said Calvert.
“I look forward to continuing my work with President Trump to restore law and order. Together, we will secure the border, shut down the flow of fentanyl into our neighborhoods, end the woke policies that have put our communities at risk, back the blue, and ensure officers the resources they need to keep our families safe.”
The primary election will occur on June 2 and general election will be on Nov. 3. Calvert was set to face off Rep. Young Kim R-Anaheim Hills in the 2026 midterm elections for the newly drawn 40th District.yy
