Oconto County, hugging the western shore of Green Bay, has shifted decisively rightward over the past two decades. Its 2024 presidential margin of R+43 places it among the most lopsided counties in a state routinely decided by fewer than two points statewide.

Oconto County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $75,049, a 94% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 39,589 together describe a community whose political habits are deeply settled.
