With California Republican Party’s endorsement, Brain Dahle is favored to finish in the top 2 in June 7 primary. That’s the easy part. Once November comes, he faces the grim reality that Democrats outnumber Republicans in CA by an almost 2-1 ratio.
The threat to Roe vs. Wade enables Gov. Gavin Newsom to pivot to a familiar campaign strategy: focusing on what’s perceived as a conservative threat.Newsom used that strategy to defeat the Republican-led recall in September. Dahle, however, said the potency of that message has waned. Voters have expressed frustration with Newsom, as recent opinion polls have shown, including his inability to handle the homelessness crisis and to tame California’s exorbitant housing costs.
Dahle was a member of the Quincy Library Group, a consortium of environmentalists, timber company representatives and elected officials representing the northeastern part of California. The group was formed to quell the decades-long, contentious fights over forest management policies for national forest lands in the northern Sierra Nevada.
“I’m a hardcore environmentalist Democrat, and I learned a lot from him,” Jackson said. “I’m not going to vote for him over a whole bunch of other things, but he was very, very straightforward and honorable. I admire his character.” Dahle said he counts Democrats among his best friends in the Legislature, even with their wide chasm in political beliefs. Dahle’s decision to challenge Newsom has complicated those relationships, however, at least publicly. More than half a dozen Democratic lawmakers who Dahle knows well either declined comment or didn’t respond to The Times’ inquiries about their Republican colleague.
Bieber has a lone grocery store and, at last count, 266 residents. Only 33,000 people live in all of Lassen County, 10,000 fewer than the size of the student body at UCLA. The Dahle family established roots in California during the Great Depression when his grandfather, a World War I veteran, was awarded an 80-acre land grant in Tulelake, just south of the Oregon border. In 1942, he bought additional land outside of Bieber for the grain farm that Dahle and his family still work.
The Dahles now run a farming enterprise that raises seed for local farmers and livestock, mills grain and delivers it with a small fleet of trucks. “The immediate thing they thought was, I’m racist, I’m homophobic. All of these things,” she said in an interview with the Dahle family. “That hurt me a lot because that’s not who I am. It took me a really long time to get people to think that isn’t who I am. There’s still a group of kids who don’t like me because of that.”
according to an article published in the Record Searchlight. And it still is. In California, Trump was trounced statewide by Biden in the 2020 election. But in Lassen County, Trump won 75% of the vote. In Shasta County, 65%. In Modoc County, 72%.
