Wednesday, November 6, 2024 2:34AMIn the Inland Empire's 41st district, Democrat Will Rollins is again trying to unseat incumbent Republican Rep. Ken Calvert.One of the high-profile congressional battles in Southern California is the 41st district in the Inland Empire, featuring a rematch ofRollins fell short by about 11,000 votes in his 2022 campaign to topple the Republican who has held the seat since 1993.
It's political déjà vu all over again in cities like Corona, Menifee, Lake Elsinore and Palm Springs, all part of Congressional District 41. "First thing we need to do is bring the price of gasoline down and groceries," Calvert said. "The fastest way to do that is get energy costs down. I want to work to make sure we get the legislation done to do exactly that. That means more production of oil and gas, and all energy. Bring down the cost of energy which is I think the biggest contributor to inflation."
Rollins said fighting corruption in Congress and imposing term limits is a priority, in addition to improving the state's housing situation. "In addition to lowering the cost of housing for people in California, we gotta get some folks who want to fight corruption in both parties in Washington," Rollins said.Copyright © 2024 KABC Television, LLC.
