As one of the [[WOW counties|suburban “WOW” counties surrounding Milwaukee]], Ozaukee County is a Republican stronghold in U.S. presidential elections, having voted Republican in all elections (except one) since 1940. [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] was the last Democrat to carry the county in a presidential election, in 1964. Following similar suburban trends across the nation, the county has grown more Democratic in recent years, but is still a Republican stronghold. Before WWI, however, Ozaukee County was reliably Democratic, due to its high German Catholic population.

In 2020, [[Joe Biden]] became the first Democrat to win over 40% of the vote since 1964.<ref name=Leip>{{cite web|url=http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS|title=Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections|first=David|last=Leip|website=uselectionatlas.org|access-date=November 11, 2020}}</ref> Biden also won the municipality of [[Cedarburg, Wisconsin|Cedarburg]], the first time a Democrat has won a municipality in any of the WOW Counties since 1996.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The 'WOW' counties suburbs are diverging politically, as some get redder and others grow increasingly purple |url=https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/politics/analysis/2020/11/20/some-milwaukee-suburbs-getting-redder-others-shift-purple/6343721002/ |access-date=August 23, 2023 |website=Journal Sentinel |language=en-US}}</ref> Progressive judge [[Janet Protasiewicz]] received nearly 48% of the vote in Ozaukee in the [[2023 Wisconsin Supreme Court election]].<ref>{{Cite news |date=April 4, 2023 |title=Wisconsin Supreme Court Election Results |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/04/04/us/elections/results-wisconsin-supreme-court.html |access-date=August 23, 2023 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> Judge [[Susan M.
