Phillips County, anchored by the small city of Phillipsburg, posted a 73.7-point Republican presidential margin in 2024 — among the widest in a state already defined by its heavily rural, GOP-dominant northwest quadrant.

The Republican margin in Phillips County reached its widest at seventy-six points in 2020. The margin in 2024 was seventy-four points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.

Phillips County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $62,123, a 93% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 4,813 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 Dickinson County and Brown County.
