Kevin Crye

---

Kevin Crye, Shasta County Board of Supervisors for District 1 and the board's chair, has become a focal point of attention that extends far beyond the county's boundaries, capturing the interest of audiences nationwide. His decisions, votes, and actions have thrust Shasta County into the national spotlight, often serving as a stark illustration of how the far-right MAGA politicians have hijacked our local government. 

Crye graduated from Simpson University in 1999 with a degree in social science. After graduation, he worked as an adjunct professor at several colleges. In 2019, he started the Ninja Coalition. In a 2022 article by Shasta Scout, Crye stated that he owns a travel event company and serves as a talent agent, working with approximately 14 to 15 athletes, singer-songwriters, actors, and others.

When Crye initially campaigned for the Board of Supervisors, he expressed his desire to make sure the voices of the county's residents were heard. He made it clear that his motivation was not about seeking fame, status, or a position. His objective was to assist the people in his county because they were struggling and divided. He mentioned, “I’m running because many locals feel overlooked and not listened to. I aim to help mend the county and restore it to the Shasta County I remember. It’s about understanding the issues that matter to people and providing support for those concerns. I have always stood for fairness, truth, and integrity. And I will continue to uphold these values. I aspire to be the most approachable candidate in the political history of Shasta County.”

The statements Crye made during his first election cast serious doubt on Crye's intentions and appear to have been more of a calculated strategy to garner votes. Given his actions and the ongoing controversies during his tenure, his pre-election remarks are profoundly disingenuous.

Let’s carefully analyze some of Crye’s decisions and actions that demonstrate how his pre-election statements were, at best, misleading to the voters of Shasta County.
