==Politics== While Texas has become a [[Republican Party (U.S.)|Republican Party]] stronghold in the 21st century, Brooks County remains solidly Democratic. No Republican presidential candidate has received a majority of the vote since the county's establishment in 1911. The highest Republican vote getters have been [[Richard Nixon]], with 35% in his [[United States presidential election in Texas, 1972|1972]] landslide and [[Donald Trump]], with over 44% in 2024. Only four Democratic candidates have received less than 60% of the vote: [[Adlai Stevenson II|Adlai Stevenson]] with almost 58% in [[United States presidential election in Texas, 1956|1956]]; [[George McGovern]] with 59.5% in 1972; [[Joe Biden]] with 59% in [[2020 United States presidential election in Texas|2020]]; and Kamala Harris with 54% in [[2024 United States presidential election in Texas|2024]], the worst performance by a Democratic candidate in Brooks County. {{PresHead|place=Brooks 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 19, 2018|archive-date=March 23, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180323225526/https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/|url-status=live}}</ref>}} <!-- PresRow should be {{PresRow|Year|Winning party|GOP vote #|Dem vote #|3rd party vote #|State}} --> {{PresRow|2024|Democratic|1,077|1,308|17|Texas}} {{PresRow|2020|Democratic|998|1,470|16|Texas}} {{PresRow|2016|Democratic|613|1,937|46|Texas}} {{PresRow|2012|Democratic|507|1,886|10|Texas}} {{PresRow|2008|Democratic|556|1,747|6|Texas}} {{PresRow|2004|Democratic|845|1,823|6|Texas}} {{PresRow|2000|Democratic|556|1,854|21|Texas}} {{PresRow|1996|Democratic|413|2,945|130|Texas}} {{PresRow|1992|Democratic|585|2,856|324|Texas}} {{PresRow|1988|Democratic|608|2,859|22|Texas}} {{PresRow|1984|Democratic|896|2,702|16|Texas}} {{PresRow|1980|Democratic|780|2,488|65|Texas}} {{PresRow|1976|Democratic|641|2,782|6|Texas}} {{PresRow|1972|Democratic|1,117|1,657|7|Texas}} {{PresRow|1968|Democratic|534|1,904|166|Texas}} {{PresRow|1964|Democratic|402|2,299|2|Texas}} {{PresRow|1960|Democratic|567|1,934|10|Texas}} {{PresRow|1956|Democratic|802|1,108|10|Texas}} {{PresRow|1952|Democratic|809|1,577|1|Texas}} {{PresRow|1948|Democratic|217|1,029|36|Texas}} {{PresRow|1944|Democratic|142|403|90|Texas}} {{PresRow|1940|Democratic|201|670|4|Texas}} {{PresRow|1936|Democratic|117|365|1|Texas}} {{PresRow|1932|Democratic|86|608|3|Texas}} {{PresRow|1928|Democratic|160|332|0|Texas}} {{PresRow|1924|Democratic|59|205|4|Texas}} {{PresRow|1920|Democratic|37|127|0|Texas}} {{PresRow|1916|Democratic|63|101|3|Texas}} {{PresFoot|1912|Democratic|13|402|167|Texas}} {{U.S. SenHead|place=Brooks County, Texas|Seat=1|source=<ref>{{cite news |title=2024 Senate Election (Official Returns) |website=Commonwealth of Texas by county |date=November 5, 2024 |access-date=December 5, 2024 |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-elections/texas-senate-results}}</ref>}} <!-- U.S. SenRow should be {{U.S. SenRow|Year|Winning party|GOP vote #|Dem vote #|3rd party vote #|State}} --> {{U.S. SenRow|2024|Democratic|874|1,379|49|Texas}} {{U.S. SenFoot}}
