How is the economy in your area. Is it growing or declining. Are young people moving out because they are looking for better opportunities? Or is there a net inflow of young workers? How about tech? Are there any tech companies moving into your area?I'm 60, and folks were still talking about carpetbagging Republicans when I was a kid. Memories last a long time.
My county here in NW Florida is 60/40 Democrat as far as registered voters. But most of them vote red on state and national races. Mostly it's just habit from back in the day (pre 1964) before the parties switched. You had to be a Democrat for your vote to have an impact in the local elections. (the real race would be in the Dem primary) Until the last election cycle there had never been anyone from the GOP to hold office. But more young folks are registering Republican now.
I'm not running your county down. I'm just wondering what people are getting out of their Republican Party leadership.
