Eau Claire County is in [[Wisconsin State Senate]] district 31, represented by [[Jeff Smith (Wisconsin politician)|Jeff Smith]] (D). The county is divided into two [[Wisconsin State Assembly|Wisconsin assembly districts]]: Assembly district 93 which is represented by [[Christian Phelps]] (D), as well as district 91 which is represented by [[Jodi Emerson]] (D). At the federal level, the entire county is contained within Wisconsin's [[WI-03|third congressional district]], which is represented in the [[United States House of Representatives]] by [[Derrick Van Orden]] (R).

In presidential elections, due in part to the presence of the [[University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire]], Eau Claire County is solidly Democratic. The last Republican to win the county was [[Ronald Reagan]] in his landslide re-election of [[1984 United States presidential election|1984]], and even then he only won the county by a margin of 2.64 percent, smaller than [[Richard Nixon]]'s margin of 5.12 percent in his landslide [[1972 United States presidential election|1972]] re-election.
