Fond du Lac County is governed by a twenty-five-member Board of Supervisors and an elected County Executive, all of whom are elected in nonpartisan elections. The other countywide officials, including the Sheriff and District Attorney, run in partisan elections.
As Ripon's Little White Schoolhouse was the birthplace of the Republican Party in 1854, the GOP has long been the dominant party in Fond du Lac County. Since 1896 when the county broke a 20 year streak of voting Democratic, outside 1912 (when the Republican vote was split by Theodore Roosevelt's run as part of the Bull Moose Party), Franklin D. Roosevelt's first two terms, and Lyndon Johnson winning the county in 1964, along with state Progessive Robert M. La Follette's win in 1924, the majority of Fond du Lac County voters have chosen the Republican candidate.
