Conservative: Fresno, California

Fresno is the closest major city to Yosemite National Park, and is also close to Sequoia National Park, making it a prime destination for outdoorsy types. White the county of Fresno has actually leaned liberal since the mid-2000s, the town of Fresno itself has been predominantly conservative for many, many years.

People are often surprised to learn that inland towns in California tend to lean conservative, and Fresno is a perfect of example of that fact. Living inland in California, as opposed to living on the coast, can present such a sharp contrast in lifestyle, that you might not believe that you’re even in the same state.
