Once reliably Democratic thanks to union households and Northeastern transplants, Monroe County flipped to a slim Republican margin in 2024 — a swing that tracks its transition from a blue-collar bedroom community to a more politically mixed exurban destination.

The county's recent history is a story of close margins. The Democratic margin reached fifty-six points in 1912; the Republican margin reached thirty-nine points in 1928. Most other elections have been decided by single-digit points.

Monroe County's demographics — a population of 167,515, a 64% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $83,565 — 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 Washoe County and DeKalb County.
