==Politics== Similar to other counties in the [[Texas Triangle]] with mid-sized cities, the county has been reliably Republican for the last half-century, having last voted for a Democratic presidential candidate in 1976 when it was won by [[Jimmy Carter]]. Several governors of Texas hailed from McLennan County: [[Ann Richards]] (1991β1995), the state's second female governor; [[Pat Morris Neff]] (1921β1925), who also served as president of [[Baylor University]]; [[Lawrence Sullivan Ross]] (1887β1891), whose family helped found Waco and who also served as the fourth president of [[Texas A&M University]]; and [[Richard Coke]] (1874β1876). {{PresHead|place=McLennan County, Texas|source=<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS|title=Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections|last=Leip|first=David|website=uselectionatlas.org|access-date=July 26, 2018}}</ref>}} <!-- PresRow should be {{PresRow|Year|Winning party|GOP vote #|Dem vote #|3rd party vote #|State}} --> {{PresRow|2024|Republican|64,606|33,863|1,203|Texas}} {{PresRow|2020|Republican|59,543|36,688|1,641|Texas}} {{PresRow|2016|Republican|48,260|27,063|3,752|Texas}} {{PresRow|2012|Republican|47,903|25,694|944|Texas}} {{PresRow|2008|Republican|49,044|29,998|632|Texas}} {{PresRow|2004|Republican|52,090|26,760|404|Texas}} {{PresRow|2000|Republican|43,955|23,462|1,372|Texas}} {{PresRow|1996|Republican|30,666|27,050|5,367|Texas}} {{PresRow|1992|Republican|28,473|25,903|15,640|Texas}} {{PresRow|1988|Republican|38,606|27,545|272|Texas}} {{PresRow|1984|Republican|42,232|23,206|140|Texas}} {{PresRow|1980|Republican|31,968|26,305|1,242|Texas}} {{PresRow|1976|Democratic|25,370|30,091|509|Texas}} {{PresRow|1972|Republican|33,377|15,947|161|Texas}} {{PresRow|1968|Democratic|15,958|22,388|8,293|Texas}} {{PresRow|1964|Democratic|10,892|28,429|25|Texas}} {{PresRow|1960|Democratic|14,926|20,100|130|Texas}} {{PresRow|1956|Democratic|15,561|16,181|111|Texas}} {{PresRow|1952|Democratic|14,974|17,251|53|Texas}} {{PresRow|1948|Democratic|3,088|16,034|1,035|Texas}} {{PresRow|1944|Democratic|1,668|15,336|1,627|Texas}} {{PresRow|1940|Democratic|2,178|15,952|35|Texas}} {{PresRow|1936|Democratic|1,116|12,489|154|Texas}} {{PresRow|1932|Democratic|1,108|11,972|105|Texas}} {{PresRow|1928|Republican|5,744|5,330|13|Texas}} {{PresRow|1924|Democratic|2,384|7,882|455|Texas}} {{PresRow|1920|Democratic|1,655|4,975|1,179|Texas}} {{PresRow|1916|Democratic|940|4,979|134|Texas}} {{PresFoot|1912|Democratic|295|3,829|501|Texas}}
