California’s 41st Congressional District

Incumbent Ken Calvert — a MAGA Republican with a long history of backing extreme right-wing policies while voting against the interests of his constituents — eked out a narrow victory in 2022 amid low voter turnout. He won by just 6,000 votes in an election in which 328,000 eligible citizens didn’t vote and in a district with nearly 50,000 unregistered citizens who are Black, Asian, or Latino. A Democrat can win CA-41 in 2024 — and hold it in future elections — if local organizers have the resources to register and mobilize likely Democratic voters, as well as to engage in persuasion.

To flip this seat, People’s House recommends that donors support Communities for a New California, a grassroots organizing group that is also working to flip CA-13 and CA-22.

CNC works to build authentic relationships in communities through grassroots organizing and focusing on day-to-day issues that voters care about. It has a strong record of mounting intensive get-out-the-vote drives through in-person canvassing and digital outreach. Its 2024 plans will build on this work to help flip CA-41.
