Local (Community): Pray for citizen journalists in Shasta County.
(Editor’s Note: Shasta County has a population of 182,155 and is 3,786 square miles with 72 square miles of water and borders six counties: Lassen, Modoc, Plumas, Siskiyou, Tehama and Trinity. It was one of the original counties in California created in 1850 but became one of the state’s 15 charter counties in 2024 delayed until 2025 because of a paper filing error. Shasta County is the epicenter of the Jefferson State movement that seeks to unite Northern California with southern Oregon. The county was Democratic until 1980 and since then has become one of the most Republican areas of California, especially in Presidential and Congressional elections and is represented by State Senator Megan Dahle, R-1, and by State Assemblywoman Heather Hadwick, R-1. The former seat of California Congressional District 1 is vacant after the death of Congressman Doug LaMalfa, who had the seat since 2013 with voters deciding on the seat in the 2026 Primary. Shasta County has three cities: Redding, Chico and Yuba City with more than 70,000 residents. The county seat is Redding.)
