Wisconsin’s electoral climate A visitor can get at least a sense of Merrimac’s political idiosyncrasies even before arriving in the village on the very day of the mid-August primary election one yard sign urged voters to reject two constitutional amendments that were on the ballot that day in a sentiment typically shared by conservatives Then came the hand-painted sign: “Duck and Chicken Eggs.” about halfway between Madison and Wisconsin Dells is that it is a bellwether for big elections.  When it comes to races for president and for governor not only has Merrimac supported both Democrats and Republicans known as much for being a swing state as for its cheese a demographics and political trends researcher at Marquette Law School Merrimac and the town of Harmony in Rock County are the only Wisconsin communities to vote for the state winner of every election for president and governor since 2000 That means Merrimac voted for the winner of all seven elections for governor since 2000: Four times for Democrats – Jim Doyle in 2002 and 2006; Tony Evers in 2018 and 2022; and three times for Republican Scott Walker who won regular elections in 2010 and 2014 Merrimac also voted for the presidential candidate who won Wisconsin in every race – though not necessarily for the candidate who won the presidency Merrimac voted for one Republican – Donald Trump in 2016; and for four Democrats – Al Gore in 2000 more densely populated areas have become more blue and rural areas more red – or as Johnson puts it “the very liberal and very conservative currents within Wisconsin are pretty equally represented That makes it a great microcosm of the state as a whole because it’s not like Wisconsin is moderate for being purple.” a settler who thought it reminded her of Merrimack (yes village president and lifelong resident Andrew Gallus is part of a family that owns Ferrylanding Marine It sells Mercury outboard motors next to the Merrimac Ferry which can carry 15 cars on its half-mile route across Lake Wisconsin There’s an ice cream stand on each side of the route “We’re a pretty quiet lake town,” says the plain-spoken Gallus Gallus says Trump won Merrimac in 2016 because people didn’t like Hillary Clinton but he doesn’t know why Trump lost to Biden in 2020 or why Merrimac is “drifting toward the Democrats” the past several elections He also doesn’t know whether that trend will continue “I know there is a strong conservative population here I have a lot of friends that are Republican I sure would like to think I know the way the [2024] election is going to go who had already known about Merrimac’s bellwether status when asked by a reporter particularly since Biden dropped out of the race and Vice President Kamala Harris is running in his place.  I don’t think anybody’s partial to one party these days,” Gallus says “That candidate’s got to do something to appeal to the voter IN THE VILLAGE, there were several signs  saying “Be Kind.” They promote a movement to raise awareness of bullying and mental health following the 2022 suicide death of Sawyer Martin a 16-year-old student of Sauk Prairie High School Some of the signs are near Ferry X-ing Bar and Grill on Main Street which was one of eight finalists in the 2024 Wisconsin Beef Council’s Wisconsin’s Best Burger Contest that’s what Merrimac’s about,” says Pearson Pearson says Merrimac transplants build “retirement mansions” on the lake but there are also first homes that are more affordable for young families The mix of residents remains down to earth and welcoming “If somebody came at you,” she says to a stranger they have totally different views and they fight each other about it,” Pearson says Pearson speculates that Merrimac picks winners because residents care more about a candidate’s views than party affiliation what they’re hoping to achieve,” she says.  Pearson has a relative who is “hard-core conservative” (but lately has been considering Democratic candidates) and another relative who is gay and more liberal She herself remains undecided about November “I don’t know that I so much like Kamala,” she says but she won’t vote for Trump because of his felony convictions for falsifying business records Criminals should not be our country’s leaders.  but I’m not so conservative that I don’t have an open mind.” pastor of the 40-member Merrimac United Methodist Church spent part of his childhood in Wisconsin but has lived in Merrimac for only a year A 1929 Model A he’s restoring is parked in the garage of his parsonage.  Hunter finds Merrimac a “pretty normal small town that is in the process of transitioning from the traditional farmer hub with the general store into a retirement lakeside community.” The groups generally get along because they’re seeking a rural lifestyle.  “There are definitely a lot of partisans in town like there are everywhere,” he says ”But there are also definitely some people who are very on the fence They do not identify with the party line and they vote more on what feels right as a response to the last president.”  Hunter cites Trump’s support in places such as Merrimac as a response to Obama whom he said didn’t do much to help rural communities don’t tend to think very highly of Trump,” which led to more votes for Biden in 2020.  It’s easier to get along in a predominantly white middle-class community amid election differences than it is in other parts of the country “The outcome of this election is not existential for almost anyone in this community It does not threaten whether or not they can stay in this country,” he says “So I think people in Merrimac can get along because they have the luxury to do so I think there are communities of people around the country for whom either the election is existentially terrifying or they feel like it is an existential threat you cannot get along with the opposite side the opposite side is trying to kill you or disenfranchise you or ship you out of the country.”  Hunter can only guess which way Merrimac will vote in November believing Biden wasn’t capable of serving another term “most people are trying to figure out” who Harris is “I have no idea which way things are going to go in the race I think most of the people in Merrimac are probably in the same boat.”  Game Recap: Men's Lacrosse | 3/8/2025 3:12:00 PM MA – The Manhattan
