Adams County voted twice for Barack Obama, then voted twice for Donald Trump by even larger margins. And Republican candidate for governor Tim Michels received more votes than Scott Walker did in any of his three elections (2010, 2014, 2018).

Meanwhile, the Adams-Friendship School District is going back to the drawing board.
“It’s very disappointing, obviously. The ‘no’ vote from the public in November doesn’t mean that our financial issues go away,” said Superintendent Tom Wermuth.
The rural district that enrolls about 1,376 students, about 66% of whom are economically disadvantaged, asked voters to approve a $12.6 million referendum to help fund operations.
Voters turned it down by 228 votes. Now, the district is looking at two paths for the future: Holding another referendum in the spring, or making cuts to staff and programming.
‘Now what?'
’A big issue the district faces is its demographics. Located in north-central Wisconsin, Adams-Friendship’s only demographic that is currently growing is residents ages 55 and up, Wermuth said. [emphasis added]
