Politics

Douglas County has one of the longest Democratic voting streaks in the nation in presidential elections; the last Republican presidential candidate to win Douglas County was Herbert Hoover in 1928. However, in 2020, Donald Trump received the highest percent of Douglas County's vote for a Republican since 1956, signaling a new competitiveness in the county. In every Presidential election between 1984 and 2000, the county was always the second most Democratic in the state (behind only Native American-dominated Menominee County), before being surpassed by Dane County in 2004, and several others from 2008 onwards.

Douglas County also regularly supports Democratic candidates at the state level.
