With a 2024 presidential margin of R+30.0, Assembly District 27 sits well outside the competitive range that defines statewide Wisconsin races, reflecting a rural or exurban electorate that has moved steadily toward lopsided Republican preferences over the past decade.

A population of 60,058, a 91% non-Hispanic-white share, and a median household income of $85,689 describe the district. The district's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Assembly District 3 and Assembly District 55.
