Coffey County, a rural stretch of east-central Kansas anchored by Burlington, delivered over 77% of its 2024 presidential vote to the Republican nominee — a margin consistent with decades of lopsided results in sparsely populated Great Plains counties.

The Republican margin in Coffey County reached its widest at fifty-seven points in 2016. The margin in 2024 was fifty-five points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.

Coffey County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $70,346, a 92% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 8,308 together describe a community whose political habits are deeply settled. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Brown County and Norton County.
