CA-40: At Least Two Prominent Republicans Will Square Off to Represent OC in Congress

At least two Republican Southern California congress members will face off against each other to represent Anaheim Hills and the eastern part of Orange County next year in the aftermath of Tuesday’s night overwhelming Prop. 50 victory.

The state’s redrawn congressional map reshaped the 40th District – an area that includes an eastern chunk of OC like Anaheim Hills, Rancho Santa Margarita as well as Mission Viejo and – now – parts of Riverside County, like portions of Corona, Lake Elsinore and Murrieta.

Rep. Young Kim (R-Anaheim) currently represents the 40th District and announced she’s running to keep her seat shortly after 12 p.m. Wednesday..........

Congressman Ken Calvert (R-Corona) has already thrown his hat in the ring, announcing Wednesday morning he’d be running to take over the 40th district, around 70% of which included his old district in Riverside County.
