Editing Curry County, Oregon (section)

==Politics==
Curry County, like most of southwestern Oregon, is a Republican-led county, although in part due to a more liberal lean in the city of [[Port Orford, Oregon|Port Orford]], it does not give so small a proportion of its vote to Democrats as Eastern Oregon does. No Democratic presidential candidate has obtained an absolute majority in Curry County since [[Lyndon Johnson]]'s 1964 landslide, and the county has been carried by Democrats for Presidents twice since, with only one occurrence being after the "[[Reagan Revolution]]". This occurred when [[Bill Clinton]] obtained a 32-vote plurality over [[George H. W. Bush]] in a three-way contest with billionaire businessman [[Ross Perot]] in 1992. Even so, the Republican lean in Curry County has shown a few signs of waning in recent years. In four of the last six presidential elections, Democrats were able to exceed 40 percent of the county’s votes.

In the [[United States House of Representatives]], Curry County is located in [[Oregon's 4th congressional district]], which also includes the more left-leaning [[Eugene, Oregon|Eugene]] metropolitan area and is currently represented by Democrat [[Val Hoyle]], serving since January 2023. In the [[Oregon State Senate]], Curry County is located in the 1st Senate District, represented by Republican [[David Brock Smith]]. In the [[Oregon House of Representatives]], it is located in the 1st District, represented by Republican and former Curry County Commissioner [[Court Boice]].
