Stafford sits along the I-95 corridor south of Washington, drawing a fast-growing mix of federal workers and military families whose shifting composition has turned a once reliably red county into a genuine toss-up.

The county's recent history is a story of close margins. The Democratic margin reached thirty-one points in 1912; the Republican margin reached forty points in 1984. Most other elections have been decided by single-digit points.

Stafford County's demographics — a population of 163,466, a 54% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $137,807 — situate the county close to national averages on several dimensions. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Talbot County and James City County.
