==Government and politics== {{See also|Ohio county government}} [[File:Erie County Office Building, Sandusky Ohio.jpg|thumb|Erie County Office Building]] Patrick Shenigo is the Chairman of the Erie County Commission, the highest elected position in the county. From 1992 to 2012, Erie County consistently voted Democratic. In 2016, however, it swung from a 12.3% margin for [[Barack Obama]] to a 9.5% margin for [[Donald Trump]], tracking with Trump's unexpectedly strong showing in the [[Rust Belt]]. Trump further increased his margin of victory to 11.5% in 2020. In 2024, Trump won the highest percentage of the vote in the county since 1984. {{PresHead|place=Erie County, Ohio|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=May 1, 2018}}</ref>}} <!-- PresRow should be {{PresRow|Year|Winning party|GOP vote #|Dem vote #|3rd party vote #|State}} --> {{PresRow|2024|Republican|22,493|16,871|573|Ohio}} {{PresRow|2020|Republican|22,160|17,493|763|Ohio}} {{PresRow|2016|Republican|19,648|16,057|2,157|Ohio}} {{PresRow|2012|Democratic|16,952|21,793|755|Ohio}} {{PresRow|2008|Democratic|17,432|23,148|795|Ohio}} {{PresRow|2004|Democratic|18,597|21,421|67|Ohio}} {{PresRow|2000|Democratic|16,105|17,732|1,178|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1996|Democratic|12,204|16,730|4,515|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1992|Democratic|12,459|14,531|8,838|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1988|Republican|16,670|15,097|431|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1984|Republican|19,174|13,508|472|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1980|Republican|15,628|12,343|2,499|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1976|Republican|14,742|13,843|893|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1972|Republican|16,714|10,889|988|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1968|Republican|13,023|11,388|2,438|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1964|Democratic|9,981|15,968|0|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1960|Republican|15,092|10,954|0|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1956|Republican|14,771|6,276|0|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1952|Republican|14,245|7,549|0|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1948|Republican|9,568|8,644|90|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1944|Republican|10,663|7,753|0|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1940|Republican|11,267|9,254|0|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1936|Democratic|6,869|10,376|1,475|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1932|Democratic|7,666|10,765|412|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1928|Republican|10,380|7,570|46|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1924|Republican|7,689|2,968|3,494|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1920|Republican|8,755|4,831|453|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1916|Democratic|4,170|5,152|349|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1912|Democratic|2,695|3,504|2,720|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1908|Republican|5,366|4,983|353|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1904|Republican|5,764|3,648|413|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1900|Republican|5,353|4,837|115|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1896|Republican|5,442|4,641|150|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1892|Democratic|3,979|4,195|242|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1888|Democratic|3,721|4,322|136|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1884|Democratic|3,507|4,044|155|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1880|Republican|3,661|3,305|141|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1876|Republican|3,158|3,112|123|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1872|Republican|2,905|2,287|19|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1868|Republican|3,130|1,884|0|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1864|Republican|3,033|1,827|0|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1860|Republican|2,886|1,538|116|Ohio}} {{PresRow|1856|Republican|2,258|1,377|75|Ohio}} |} {{U.S. SenHead|place=Erie County, Ohio|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/ohio-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|Republican|19,654|18,117|1,536|Ohio}} {{U.S. SenFoot}} ===County officials=== {| class="wikitable" |- !
