Riverside County, California, has historically been a pretty moderate-to-conservative place, historically speaking; it was the only Southern California county to vote to recall the impeccably coiffed Governor Gavin Newsom in 2021. The county’s political party registration is 40.49 percent Democrat to 31.31 percent Republican, with the balance independent or “other parties.” The county contains parts of six congressional districts, evenly split between Democrats and Republicans.
So, Riverside County is not really a far-right or far-left locale. In presidential elections, voters tended to lean Republican until 2008, after which it went for Democrats.
This year may be different if the elected county sheriff, Chad Bianco, is any indicator.
This is the elected Sheriff of the 4th largest county by population in Calif. https://t.co/keShpX5F6k
