Menominee sits along Michigan's Wisconsin border, where a timber-and-manufacturing heritage and a sparse, aging population have pushed presidential margins steadily rightward over the past two decades.

The Republican margin in Menominee County reached its widest at fifty-one points in 1904. The margin in 2024 was thirty-four points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.

Menominee County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $56,435, a 92% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 23,247 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 Monroe County and Marinette County.
