🌊 Del Norte County
~28,000 peopleDel Norte is California's northernmost coastal county—home to ancient redwoods, the Smith River (California's last major undammed river), and the resilient community of Crescent City. The Tolowa Dee-ni' Nation and Yurok Tribe have deep roots here. This small county punches above its weight but needs investment in jobs, infrastructure, and tsunami/flood resilience.
These bills bring forestry jobs, protect fisheries, and invest in rural infrastructure.
