Find out what Congressman Ken Calvert is working on for Riverside County and the people of the 41st Congressional District

The House of Representatives passed a funding package this week that included $67 million for Riverside County infrastructure projects at my request to help communities throughout our region. I’m proud to work together with our local leaders to identify and fund projects that will make an impact in reducing traffic congestion, improving water quality, and enhancing our local airports. As a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee, I will continue to fight to return the tax dollars my constituents send to Washington, D.C. back here to make a difference in my district.

Funding was included for the following 41st Congressional District infrastructure projects:

- $5.6 million for the Cook Street Bridge Project in Palm Desert
- $1.7 million for the Corona Trails Improvement Project
- $5 million for the French Valley Airport Contract Control Tower Project
- $5 million for the Indian Canyon Drive Project in Palm Springs
- $5 million for the I-10 Singleton Road Interchange Project in Calimesa
- $5 million for the I-15 Express Lanes Southern Extension Project
- $8 million for the Lake Elsinore Water Quality Project
- $4 million for the Magnolia Avenue Widening Project in Corona
- $2.4 million for the Norco Recycled Water Distribution and Transmission Mainline Project
- $3 million for the Inline Baggage Handling System Improvement Project at Palm Springs International Airport
- $5 million for the Quail Valley Septic to Sewer Conversion Project
- $2.5 million for the Scott Road/Bundy Canyon Road Widening in Menifee
- $5 million for the Via Vail Roadway Improvement Project in Rancho Mirage
- $5 million for the Washington Street Pavement Resurfacing Project in La Quinta
- $5 million for the Whitewater Channel Lining in Indian Wells

Nothing we do in Congress is more important than funding the men and women who keep America safe. I am proud to serve as the Chairman of the Defense Appropriations Subcommittee and together with my colleagues oversee the crafting of our annual defense appropriations bill. The Fiscal Year 2026 Defense Appropriations bill was approved by the House this week and reflects my national security priorities as Chairman. Our servicemembers are the most essential component of our national security strategy and this bill invests in these heroes with a 3.8% pay raise and continues pay increases for junior enlisted servicemembers. We also continue to target international drug cartels and narco-terrorists – who are responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans – by investing in National Guard counter-drug programs.

Earlier this week, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 1663, the Veterans Scam and Fraud Evasion (VSAFE) Act, which I introduced last year to establish a Veterans Scam and Fraud Evasion Officer at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). We owe it to our veterans to protect them from scams and fraud that could cause serious financial and personal hardship. The VSAFE Act will make sure the VA has the tools it needs to prioritize the coordination of its scam and fraud prevention activities. Click HERE to read more about the VSAFE Act
