In recent years, Shasta County has experienced significant political division and ideological conflict. Heightened partisanship, national political influences, and rising tensions over issues such as religion, gun rights, public health, and local governance have increasingly overshadowed longstanding community values. The emergence of new political movements, including factions aligned with the national “MAGA” platform, has reshaped the county’s leadership landscape. Individuals affiliated with groups such as the Cottonwood Militia and activists identifying with the New California State movement have gained influence within the Shasta County Board of Supervisors and local school boards. This shift has contributed to the resignation or removal of multiple public health officials. It has introduced policy efforts such as attempts to declare Shasta County a “Second Amendment Sanctuary,” as well as loyalty resolutions perceived by some as politically motivated.
Shasta Exposed was founded to support transparency, civic participation, and accountability in local government. We believe that access to public information empowers residents to make informed decisions and helps protect democratic processes.
Our role is to provide verifiable, publicly accessible information about political candidates, elected officials, public policy, and governance decisions that impact the people of Shasta County. We encourage voters to examine the conduct, affiliations, financial interests, and voting records of public officials to make informed choices at the ballot box.
We believe accountability is not partisan — it is essential. Public officials serve the people, and their actions should reflect ethical standards, transparency, and respect for the law.
Shasta Exposed will continue to shine a light on issues that matter to our community. We are committed to fact-based reporting, open records research, and the protection of democratic principles in Shasta County.
We believe silence enables corruption — we choose transparency.
