Pending Review [constituency_baseline] District summary: California's 41st Congressional District encompasses the Inland Empire and Coachella Valley regions of Riverside County, including the cities of Corona, Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, La Quinta, and portions of Riverside. With approximately 798,000 residents, the district has a median household income of $103,180 — well above the national median but below the California average. The district is majority-minority (47.2% White non-Hispanic, 40.2% Hispanic) with a homeownership rate of 74.7% and a median property value of $626,200. The economy is anchored by healthcare, retail, tourism/hospitality, logistics/warehousing, and defense (March Air Reserve Base, ~9,600 employees). Under Proposition 50 (passed November 2025), the district's boundaries will shift dramatically — from Trump+6 to Harris+14 — prompting Calvert to announce he will run in the adjoining 40th District in 2026 instead.

Pending Review Voted yea on H.R. 8774 (Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2025 — On Passage) on 2024-06-28: As chair of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, Calvert sponsored and passed an $833 billion defense spending bill ($8.57 billion above FY2024). Four of his top five career donors are defense contractors (General Atomics, Lockheed Martin, General Dynamics, RTX Corp — collectively $890,870 career). The League of Conservation Voters flagged the bill for anti-environmental riders and scored the vote. While the district's March Air Reserve Base benefits directly from defense spending, the alignment between Calvert's committee gavel, his donor base, and the spending increase makes this a textbook donor-aligned vote.
Date: 2024-06-28 Added: 02 May 2026
Pending Review Voted yea on H.R. 1 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act — On Motion to Concur in the Senate Amendment) on 2025-07-03: Calvert voted for the landmark bill (218-214, party-line) that raised the SALT deduction cap to $40,000 — a major win for his high-income, high-property-tax constituents in California (median home value in CA-41: $626,200). However, the same bill contained nearly $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts and allowed ACA premium subsidies to expire, directly impacting the 8.74% of district residents without health coverage. Calvert's subsequent op-ed touting the SALT relief was met with protests outside his Palm Desert office over the healthcare cuts.
Date: 2025-07-03 Added: 02 May 2026
Pending Review Voted yea on H.R. 8035 (Ukraine Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2024) on 2024-04-20: Calvert voted to authorize $61 billion in Ukraine aid, joining only 101 Republicans (against 112 GOP nays). As the top Republican on the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, his support carried institutional weight. His district includes March Air Reserve Base (~9,600 employees), giving the vote a constituent-defense nexus. However, many GOP primary voters in his increasingly competitive district opposed further Ukraine spending — putting him in the minority of his own party on a high-salience national security vote.
Date: 2024-04-20 Added: 02 May 2026
Pending Review [vote] Calvert voted for the Respect for Marriage Act (H.R. 8404) on December 8, 2022, joining 38 other Republicans and all Democrats to codify federal protections for married same-sex and interracial couples. He was one of only three California House Republicans to vote in favor.
Date: 2022-12-08 Added: 02 May 2026
Pending Review [vote] Calvert voted against the Equality Act (H.R. 5) on February 25, 2021, which would have prohibited discrimination based on sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity in employment, housing, and other areas. This continued his long record of opposing LGBTQ rights legislation, including voting for the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996.

Pending Review [statement] In a January 2025 op-ed, Calvert wrote: 'Another priority I have is increasing the amount of state and local taxes — or SALT — taxpayers can deduct from their federal income taxes.' And in July 2025, after voting for the Big Beautiful Bill: 'Our bill lifts the existing $10,000 SALT deduction cap up to $40,000. By quadrupling the SALT deduction, we are helping taxpayers in high tax states run by Democrats, like California, from effectively paying tax twice on their income.'
Date: 2025-07-09 Added: 02 May 2026
Pending Review [vote] Calvert voted for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (H.R. 1) on November 16, 2017, which imposed a $10,000 cap on the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction. He stated: 'I voted for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act because it allows my constituents in the 42nd Congressional District to keep more of the money they earn and will produce tremendous economic benefits that help working families.'
