Editing St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana (section)

==Politics==
St. Tammany Parish has heavily favored [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] politicians.  In 2020, Donald Trump won St. Tammany by a greater number of votes than he did any other county of Louisiana.  The last [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic]] presidential candidate to carry the parish was [[John F. Kennedy]] in [[1960 United States presidential election in Louisiana|1960]]. In [[2008 United States presidential election in Louisiana|2008]], [[John McCain]] received 76% of the vote (83,078 votes) in the parish, despite losing to Democrat [[Barack Obama]] nationally by a substantial margin. In the [[2008 United States Senate election in Louisiana|2008 U.S. Senate election]], incumbent Democrat [[Mary Landrieu]] was re-elected, but lost the parish to Republican [[John Kennedy (Louisiana politician)|John Kennedy]], with Kennedy winning 61% of the vote (65,150 votes) in the parish to Landrieu's 36% (39,429 votes). In 2004, Republican [[George W. Bush]] won 75% of the vote (75,139 votes) to Democrat [[John F. Kerry|John Kerry]]’s 24% (24,662 votes). The increase in the Republican margin of victory since 2004 has been attributed in part to the relocation of numerous, typically Republican, [[St. Bernard Parish]] residents to St. Tammany Parish in the aftermath of post-[[Hurricane Katrina]].<ref name=Leip/>
