Sheridan County sits against the Bighorn Mountains in northern Wyoming, where an economy built on ranching, energy, and a small but notable arts community has long produced some of the state's most lopsided Republican presidential margins.

The Republican margin in Sheridan County reached its widest at fifty-one points in 2016. The margin in 2024 was forty-nine points, in line with the county's deep historical pattern.

Sheridan County's loyalty is rooted in its place. Median household income of $71,388, a 91% non-Hispanic-white share, and a population of 32,055 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 Burnet County and Irion County.
