CALIFORNIA 3
:
North Central Valley
The 3rd stretches from Sacramento's urban, southwestern suburbs to the
spacious northern county of Tehama, serving as a bridge between the flat
agricultural lands of the upper Sacramento River Valley and the state's
northern, timber-rich highlands. Politically competitive, the 3rd went
Republican in 1998, ending a 20-year Democratic reign.
Sacramento County accounts for more than a third of the district's vote.
It is the 3rd's most populous county and includes the affluent Sacramento
suburbs of Citrus Heights and Rio Linda. The county is politically mixed,
and residents tend to work in high-tech industries or state government.
Eastern Solano and Yolo counties are more Democratic-leaning. Davis, Yolo's
largest city, is home to a campus of the U. of California system.
The slated 2001 closure of McClellan Air Force Base - formerly the
second-largest Air Force community outside of San Antonio - has hurt the
3rd's economy. The area has attempted to lessen the impact by converting the
base into an industrial center. North of Sacramento, agriculture drives the
economy, and local issues revolve around water and flood control.
