==Politics== The city of Westover Hills is one of the most reliably Republican jurisdictions in the state of Texas. Every GOP presidential candidate since [[Thomas Dewey]] in [[1948 United States presidential election|1948]] has carried the city by over 25 points, with [[Dwight Eisenhower]], [[Ronald Reagan]], and [[George H. W. Bush]] each earning over 90% of the vote in 1952, 1956, 1984 and 1988 respectively. In his 1998 gubernatorial re-election bid, [[George W. Bush]] would also top 90% Among the Democratic candidates for president, only [[Lyndon Johnson]] in [[1964 United States presidential election|1964]] has ever come within 30 points of carrying Westover Hills. In 1944, [[Franklin Delano Roosevelt]] finished third in the city, behind Dewey, and the unpledged Texas Regulars third party, who won the city with over three quarters of the vote. All presidential election results for Westover Hills since 1944, and all gubernatorial results since 1998 are listed below: {| border = "2" |+ Westover Hills city vote<br /> by party in presidential elections |- style="background:lightgrey;" !
