KEVIN FIRST. SHASTA COUNTY SECOND.
District 1 deserves steady, accountable leadership. Leadership that puts people first, NOT personal agendas. That’s what true representation should look like.
Yet over the past several years, too many decisions at the county level have felt driven by one priority:
Kevin first.
His priorities
His fights
His agenda
Too often, Shasta County families are left paying the price.
We deserve leadership grounded in service, not ego.
During his time in office, Kevin Crye has tied Shasta County to costly political fights that never should have happened.
His leadership has cost Shasta County more than $5 million. He pushed to eliminate trusted voting systems on unproven fraud claims. He backed poorly negotiated agreements that triggered major lawsuits and state intervention.
All while real priorities were left waiting.
And nothing tells that story more clearly than what he did to mental health care in our community.

He Blocked $150 Million in Mental Health Help. Then Funded Fraud.
A $150 million behavioral health project was ready to come to rural California. Real treatment, real funding, real hope for North State families. Taxpayer dollars coming back to our community.
Kevin Crye blocked it. Called it evil.
Then he turned around and approved $2 million in county funds for a project that has since been identified as fraud and shut down.
He didn't just stand in the way of care. He redirected your money to reward insiders.
Mental health help for our kids and families — blocked.
$2 million in county funds — handed to a fraudulent project.
Real treatment for the North State — gone because of him.
WHEN IT MATTERED MOST, HE CHOSE POLITICS OVER PEOPLE. DISTRICT 1 DESERVES BETTER.
Nearly half of District 1 voters supported a recall effort in 2024. That tells a clear story: trust has been shaken.
Our county needs steady leadership focused on restoring confidence, not more political drama.
District 1 Needs a Supervisor Who Will Focus On:
-
Expanding behavioral health capacity
-
Strengthening public safety
-
Protecting taxpayers through responsible budgeting
-
Restoring transparency in county decision-making
