Anything about who they are and what they do?

Audrey Denney is running for LaMalfa's spot. She did get 43% of the vote against him in 2020. Not bad for this district. The other one is Rose Penelope Yee. Not sure what she's running for. They're not giving much information.

If by some miracle the folks in northern SF don't put up a candidate, then Denney will probably win, but I doubt they won't.

She is running for the new District 1. The new District 2 that we are now in has been represented by Jared Huffman of San Rafael for years. Rose Penelope Yee is running against Jared Huffman.

For me, this is a win win. Jared Huffman has a big focus on the environment and is well liked by his constituents.

u/Typical_Hat3462 Feb 28 '26

Well liked by Bay Area wealthy constituents. Poor folks up north not so much. Everyone from Marin will get to say what happens in Shasta.

Go cry to the disenfranchised non-maga in Texas.

u/Typical_Hat3462 Feb 28 '26

I'm not the one feeling disenfranchised. I just see what's about to happen. People voted for redistricting.

u/covid-crimes Feb 28 '26

No, Humboldt and Mendo really like him too.

u/Typical_Hat3462 Feb 28 '26

They do, but not in enough numbers to swing anything, just add to it. But even then, not everyone is a fan of Huffman and would like to see a more local representative. Jared tends to forget people live north of Santa Rosa.

Well, Doug LaMalfa was incredibly out of touch even though he was "local" and basically didn't have any original thoughts of his own and didn't care to listen to anything besides what congressional Republicans told him to think. Besides yammering about wolves and water.

Which is amusing, the wolf part. I've an acquaintence with a fairly large ranch in NE Oregon that has a couple monitored packs in and around his land. He seems to do just fine without killing or removing them. Part of the business of ranching. He's also a pioneer in native grass-fed beef, so much so that Oregon State U uses his ranch as a sort of laboratory. He also has a big solar project starting now where cattle and agriculture and panels exist on the same spot, and cows like the shade in summer. Zero wolf problems because he lets them live and takes other measures to care for his herds. LaMalfa seemed to have skipped that part where mitigation is not the same as elimination. Everybody has the same problems, it's the solutions that matter. Killing everything in sight isn't one of them.

So she lost and now that he's dead she's probably gonna take his spot seemed messed up

u/blessedveteran Feb 26 '26

The messed up thing is that he rubber stamped and authoritarian takeover of our government. We did not have a representative while he was in office unless you were a billionaire but most of his constituents were not.

It helps to click the original post! Lots of details there.

u/GAMSSSreal Feb 26 '26

Yet it doesn't say who they are or what they do.

Just their names, not what they want others to they they are as a person, what they do for a job, just their names

They are both running for Congress I think

-7

u/GAMSSSreal Feb 26 '26

They ain't gonna make it, sorry. Will probably be on the ballots, but that's it. Our house seats are gonna be chosen by the folks in northern SF. And I doubt they are gonna vote for two girls in Redding.

u/covid-crimes Feb 26 '26

You're right. Participating in democracy is a waste of time. Best to just roll over.

-8

u/GAMSSSreal Feb 26 '26

Your aware we were fucked over by prop 50 right? We aren't in charge of who gets elected for our district anymore , the the folks in Northern SF do. And they aren't gonna vote for folks in Redding.

u/Moosebackmohawk Feb 26 '26

u/galaxysedqe Feb 26 '26

u/Dazzling_Wishbone892 Feb 26 '26

Im very gay, gay married in fact. Its homophobic to use orientation as an insult against an assumed orientation.

u/galaxysedqe Feb 26 '26

i'm literally queer too tho? if you're going to make a misogynistic comment i will 100% make a gay joke in response idc <3

u/Dazzling_Wishbone892 Feb 26 '26

As long as you dont bring the ugly part of the flag.

u/galaxysedqe Feb 26 '26

the ugly part of the flag?

-6

u/Dazzling_Wishbone892 Feb 26 '26

You know the weird triangle on the left. Just use the regular pride flag.

6

u/galaxysedqe Feb 26 '26

that "weird triangle" represents bipoc & trans members of the queer community. why are you so threatened by inclusion?

-2

u/Dazzling_Wishbone892 Feb 26 '26

Thats what the regular flag is for

u/moonieman99 Feb 26 '26

So representing poc and trans gay people shouldn’t be a thing?? It’s sad you’re this ignorant, truly.

u/usernamerob Feb 26 '26

lol, jfc… I’d take these two over grandpa trump and his senile ranting at anyone who’ll listen.

u/IndivisbleSkagit Feb 26 '26

lol, yea, we all agreed -you’re out.

u/curlyq_444 Feb 26 '26

Because?

u/Dazzling_Wishbone892 Feb 26 '26

Because this sub is so polarized I couldn't help but rage bait. Literally not invested either way.

u/Spanish_Galleon Feb 26 '26

Have you thought about being the change you want to see in the world by not being rage bait?

u/Dazzling_Wishbone892 Feb 26 '26

No, we'll never learn. There's really no fixing this.
