Rep. Ken Calvert, R-Corona, recently received the S. Roy Wilson Memorial Award for Leadership in Government by the South Coast Air Quality Management District.
Calvert, who is now serving his twelfth term in Congress, was recognized for his work as chairman of the House Energy and Environment Committee’s Science subcommittee, according to a statement.
He was also acknowledged for securing federal funding that was used to pay for clean-air projects in Riverside County.
Calvert was honored at the district’s 28th annual Clean Air Awards luncheon, which was held earlier this month at the Riverside Convention Center. Patrick Evans, chief meteorologist with CBS2 TV Palm Springs, was master of ceremonies.
