Douglas County, WI: The Wild West of Wisconsin Politics
Welcome to Douglas County—where the trees outnumber the people, and local politics make reality TV look boring. Nestled in the rugged beauty of northern Wisconsin, Douglas County is where Lake Superior crashes against the shore, deer outnumber residents, and everyone’s got an opinion on how to fix the roads (spoiler: they never get fixed).
Home to the city of Superior—aka Duluth’s scrappier sibling—Douglas County is a patchwork of small towns, sprawling forests, and enough community boards to make your head spin. Whether it’s figuring out who actually runs what, our political scene is a mix of passionate arguments and good old-fashioned Midwestern stubbornness.
