Woodland, California is a Blue Town
There is a common misconception that the small-ish, central valley Ag town I live in leans republican. It doesn’t. In fact, this centry in the Democrat and Republican races, it’s averaged 60% blue in every election since Obama beat McCain in 2008. Sure, we have a vocal MAGA minority, but miserable people are loud.

It may also surprise you to learn that just like Woodland, Davis, and West Sacramento, Winters is also a blue town. Yolo County is very solidly blue. Harris took 66% of the Yolo County vote in the 2024 presidential election. Our lying fascist criminal president took 30%.
Take heed, my compassionate, rational neighbors. You are the majority. As for the rest of you? Remember that your opinion isn’t the popular one around here.
