On Tuesday Sept. 10, the Yolo County Republican Party held a presidential debate watch party at their headquarters in Woodland. With the upcoming election in November, the debate allowed the two candidates to go back and forth on current issues.
Ready to tune in at 6 p.m. sharp, the back table was lined up with hot dogs, pizza and refreshments accompanied by an array of homemade baked goods.
Gathered together with their friends and families, everyone watched attentively as the debate began. They cheered and booed in unison, verifying that almost everyone there agreed with one another.
As the topic changed from one issue to another, heads turned side to side to discuss their opinions on the subject. During the advertisements, attendees wandered around, introducing themselves to new faces in the room and greeting the ones they already knew.
Right as the program came back on, everyone quickly sat down and grew quiet so they would not miss a second.
The occasional laughter or mocking shout rang throughout the room as everyone got along with each other. At the back table, children from different families huddled together to play, running around with big smiles on their faces.
As the debate came to a close, everyone cheered and clapped, content with how it went. As the chair of the Yolo County Republican Party, Dan Brown thanked everyone for attending, and another round of applause filled the room for him.
Happy to put on the viewing for those who shared the parties’ views, “it went very well,” Brown said. As an important role to the community, Brown carries himself with charisma, countless people saying their goodbyes and grateful thanks to him on their way out.
Attendee Tracy Pryor said she had a wonderful time and was glad to be surrounded by like minded people. “I think it’s important to come together with the community and for all of us to get together and watch the debate and share opinions,” Pryor said.
Pryor takes an active part in the community as the election approaches. “I have a restaurant and I have ballots that my customers can sign,” Pryor said.
