===Political history===
Beaver County used to be a Democratic stronghold, and had a slight Democratic edge in registration until 2023.  <ref>{{Cite web |last=Radio |first=Beaver County |date=2023-12-20 |title=Beaver County now has Republican Majority |url=https://beavercountyradio.com/news/beaver-county-now-has-republican-majority/ |access-date=2024-07-25 |website=Beaver County Radio |language=en-US}}</ref> In 2015, the GOP took majority status in the Commissioners' Office for the first time since 1955. In 2004, Democrat [[John Kerry]] won Beaver County over Republican [[George W. Bush]] 51% to 48%. In 2008, Republican [[John McCain]] defeated Democrat [[Barack Obama]] 50% to 47%, becoming the first Republican to win there since 1972 and only the third since 1928. [[Mitt Romney]] and [[Donald Trump]] (twice) carried the county in the next three elections. In 2010, Republican Governor [[Tom Corbett]] and Republican Senator [[Pat Toomey]] both carried Beaver in their successful statewide bids, and Toomey won the county again in [[2016 United States Senate election in Pennsylvania|2016]]. However, Democrats have still seen recent success in Beaver County in non-presidential races, with Democrats often being competitive in the county in Senate and gubernatorial elections. Beaver County voted for [[Bob Casey Jr.]] in his reelection bid in 2012 50% to 47%, and again voted to re-elect Casey in 2018, as well as Democrat [[Tom Wolf]].

In 2022, Democratic gubernatorial candidate [[Josh Shapiro]] defeated Republican [[Doug Mastriano]] in the county, but was the only Democrat that cycle to do so.
