Despite living in a Trump stronghold, Okanogan County residents have been able to sustain several months of regular demonstrations and other activities protesting the first half-year of the president’s second term. These Okanogan County protesters hope to connect with others with similar concerns, and also to be heard by those with differing viewpoints. Yates said she wants Okanogan County residents to know what they’re losing through the cuts in legislation proposed by Trump and ultimately passed by the Republican-majority Congress. She’s also tried to keep in touch with other groups, including the Okanogan County Indivisible group in the Omak/Tonasket area. In Okanogan County, where Twisp is located, 55.7% of the vote went to Trump in the 2024 election.
