===Political culture=== As a county anchored by a college town, Boone holds a Democratic tendency at the local, state, and federal levels. It is the only Democratic stronghold in Missouri outside of [[Greater St. Louis]] and the [[Kansas City metropolitan area]]. Boone County is also very progressive on ballot measures, voting for [[2020 Missouri Amendment 2|Medicaid expansion in 2020]] and [[2024 Missouri Amendment 3|legal abortion in 2024]], unlike all of its neighboring counties. Both amendments only narrowly passed statewide, making Boone County's votes crucial. No Republican has won Boone County at the presidential level since [[George W. Bush]] very narrowly did in [[2004 United States presidential election in Missouri|2004]], let alone with a majority since [[1984 United States presidential election|landslide]] victor [[Ronald Reagan]] in [[1984 United States presidential election in Missouri|1984]]; at the U.S. Senate level since [[Roy Blunt]] in [[2010 United States Senate election in Missouri|2010]]; nor at the gubernatorial level since the popular [[John Ashcroft]] (who won the county both terms) in his [[1988 Missouri gubernatorial election|1988 landslide re-election]].
