Races for two Board of Supervisor seats were close throughout the election. Results posted Tuesday from the show Kevin Crye defeated Redding City Council member Erin Resner in District 1 by 90 votes. In District 5, Anderson Mayor Baron Browning lost to Chris Kelstrom by 445 votes.
With those victories, far-right members in Shasta County now control four out of five seats on the Board of Supervisors.
In a Facebook post Tuesday, Resner wrote "I hope Kevin will choose to step up and represent everyone in our community despite the differences of opinion that exist."
The right-wing majority has been controversial since the beginning of the year. They fired top county officials, lifted COVID-19 restrictions and took hardline conservative viewpoints on LGBTQ rights and abortion.
