Sherburne sits at the outer edge of the Minneapolis–St. Paul metro, and its fast-growing exurban population has shifted the county from competitive to reliably lopsided, posting an R+34.8 margin in 2024.

The Republican margin in Sherburne County reached its widest at seventy-six points in 1920. The margin in 2024 was thirty-five points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.

Sherburne County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $105,466, a 87% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 100,560 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 Wright County and Bourbon County.
