Government and politics[edit]

Elected Officials[edit]

Plymouth County is governed by three County Commissioners:^[21]

Chairman Jared L. Valanzola (R-Plymouth) ^[22] , Commissioner Sandra M. Wright (R-Bridgewater), and Commissioner Gregory M. Hanley (D-Abington)

Other county elected officials include Sheriff Joseph D. McDonald, jr. (R-Kingston), District Attorney Timothy Cruz (R-Marshfield), Treasurer Thomas J. O'Brien (D-Plymouth), Register of Deeds John R. Buckley, jr. (D-Scituate), Register of Probate Matthew McDonough (D-Marshfield), and Clerk of Courts Robert Creedon (D-Brockton)

Presidential election results[edit]

From the late 19th to the mid 20th centuries, Plymouth County was a Republican Party stronghold in presidential elections. From 1876 to 1988, only three Democrats carried the county: Lyndon Johnson, Hubert Humphrey, and Jimmy Carter. Since 1992, however, it has become solidly Democratic, though less so relative to other counties in the state. In 2012, Mitt Romney lost the county by 4.2 points, the closest a Republican has come to winning a county in Massachusetts since 1988. However, it has become more Democratic afterwards, and in 2020, Joe Biden carried the county by 17 points, the largest margin of victory for a Democrat since 1996.

 ===Presidential election results===
 From the late 19th to the mid 20th centuries, Plymouth County was a Republican Party stronghold in presidential elections. From 1876 to 1988, only three Democrats carried the county: [[Lyndon Johnson]], [[Hubert Humphrey]], and [[Jimmy Carter]]. Since 1992, however, it has become solidly Democratic, though less so relative to other counties in the state. In [[2012 United States presidential election in Massachusetts|2012]], [[Mitt Romney]] lost the county by 4.2 points, the closest a Republican has come to winning a county in Massachusetts since 1988. However, it has become more Democratic afterwards, and in [[2020 United States presidential election|2020]], [[Joe Biden]] carried the county by 17 points, the largest margin of victory for a Democrat since [[1996 United States presidential election in Massachusetts|1996]].
