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.

Whether it’s figuring out who actually runs what, our political scene is a mix of passionate arguments and good old-fashioned Midwestern stubbornness.
