The midterm election was a Democratic wave, but underlying numbers show nuance in California

Eric McGhee, fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California, notes multiple of the state's congressional Democrats, won in head to heads against other Democrats this November. photo credit: Wikimedia/Mrs. Gemstones It's been over a week since election day, and more races in Sonoma County and around the state are getting settled. The midterm elections on November 3rd delivered big wins for Democratic Party candidates across the country, the county, and the state. Joanna Paun, endorsed by the Sonoma County Democratic Party in the race for the county's 2nd district supervisor seat, officially declared victory a week after election night. Melanie Bagby, also endorsed by the local democratic party, continues to hold a slim lead in the race for 4th district supervisor. Sonoma County will also be represented by three Democrats in Congress in Washington D.C. Eric McGhee, a senior fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California said despite the major Democratic Party gains, there's some nuance to the story in California. "If you just look at the races that had both a Democrat and Republican on the ballot, so cross-party contested races, the the swing in those seats was actually smaller than it was in similar seats in

Healdsburg’s Michelin-Starred Troubadour Featured in Apple TV’s “Knife Edge”

Healdsburg’s Troubadour Bread & Bistro is getting some serious screen time in an Apple TV documentary series executive produced by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. That may be surprising for a neighborhood sandwich shop. But Troubadour has a second identity: At night, it transforms into an intimate fine-dining restaurant. And that’s only part of the story.

Petaluma Veterans Day Parade draws thousands to honor veterans

The streets of downtown Petaluma are lined with little American flags, kids catching candy and people in uniform driving by in all sorts of vehicles. photo credit: Shandra Back/KRCB The streets of downtown Petaluma are lined with little American flags, kids catching candy and people in uniform driving by in all sorts of vehicles. KRCB News speaks with a few Sonoma County local veterans at the parade to hear about their service and what this day means to them. "United States Coast Guard, retired, proudly served," said Josh Curtis. "It's the Petaluma Veterans Day Parade. We have a pretty proud tradition of this in Petaluma and a lot of the community comes out. We're also a Coast Guard town. To me it's about honoring those who serve. My wife is here, and my two kids, and they all sacrificed for me to be able to serve. I gave up lots. I was a reservist for most of my time and I had to give up a lot of weekends and deployed all over the country and had to leave them behind and they had to hold down the fort while I was gone. It takes a lot to do that,"

Tractors in full twinkle rule this whimsical wine country parade

DRAPING STRINGS OF LIGHTS... across all sorts of large objects and enormous yard features, from porches to pergolas, has become a whimsical way of life for those people who adore decorating for the holidays. Other sizable spots, including garage doors, swing sets, and oversized gates also get the glittery treatment each year. When it comes to vehicles, however, the decorating remains generally demure: You might spy a wreath hooked to the front of a car's grill or perhaps an elf doll placed near a car's rear window. But there's a town in Calistoga that likes to fabulously festoon all sorts of things on wheels, especially the huge machines that dutifully serve our communities on farms or by delivering food and a plethora of much-needed goods. It's the Lighted Tractor Parade, a colorful and quirky Calistoga tradition, and big trucks, hefty construction vehicles, lengthy flatbeds and other on-the-roll mega machines make merry appearances in the popular procession, one of the only events of its twinkly type.
