Hopewell, an independent city on the Appomattox River, has voted Democratic in recent presidential cycles by double-digit margins, reflecting its majority-minority population and legacy of chemical and manufacturing industry employment.
The 2008 election was the turning point, when the Democratic candidate carried the county by twelve points. The 2024 margin was fourteen points, in line with the county's new direction.
The demographics suggest why. A population of 22,959, a 41% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $54,729 situate the county in the broader realignment patterns of recent cycles. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Manassas city and Hamilton County.
