====Politics==== Carver County has consistently voted Republican in presidential elections, with Republicans winning the county in every presidential election since 1936. Since 1896, a Democratic presidential nominee has won the county only twice: most recently in 1932, when [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] won a landslide victory against incumbent [[Herbert Hoover]], and in 1912, when [[Woodrow Wilson]] won the county against a divided Republican party. Since 1980, only Bill Clinton and Joe Biden have held the Republican nominee to a single-digit margin of victory. However, despite the county's Republican lean, it has become much more competitive in recent elections, with Joe Biden in 2020 receiving the highest vote share of any Democratic presidential nominee since [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] in his 1964 landslide victory. Carver County is located in [[Minnesota's 6th congressional district]] (CPVI R+12), represented by [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] [[Tom Emmer]]. {{PresHead|place=Carver County, Minnesota|whig=no|source1=<ref>{{cite web|url=http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS|title=Atlas of US Presidential Elections|last=Leip|first=David|website=uselectionatlas.org|access-date=April 17, 2018}}</ref>|source2=<ref>The leading "other" candidate, [[Progressive Party (United States, 1912)|Progressive]] [[Theodore Roosevelt]], received 933 votes, while Socialist candidate [[Eugene V.
