Editing West Coast of the United States (section)

==Government and politics==
With the exception of [[Alaska]], the [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]] has dominated West Coast politics in contemporary history, with the states consistently voting for Democrats in elections at various levels. Four out of five West Coast states have voted for Democrats in presidential elections since [[1992 United States presidential election|1992]], three of which have done so since [[1988 United States presidential election|1988]].

In politics, the West Coast usually refers to the contiguous coastal states of California, Oregon, and Washington because of their similar political leanings. In 2017, ''[[The Oregonian]]'' columnist [[David Sarasohn]] described the West Coast as a "[[Blue wall (U.S. politics)|blue wall]]" of shared values on [[Immigration to the United States|immigration]], [[Abortion in the United States|abortion]], [[Climate change in the United States|climate change]], and [[Civil liberties in the United States|civil liberties]].<ref name="West Coast blue wall">{{cite news |last1=Sarasohn |first1=David |title=David Sarasohn: Trump batters against West coast blue wall |url=https://www.oregonlive.com/opinion/2017/12/david_sarasohn_trump_batters_a.html |work=The Oregonian |access-date=November 14, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201114004555/https://www.oregonlive.com/opinion/2017/12/david_sarasohn_trump_batters_a.html |archive-date=November 14, 2020 |date=December 3, 2017}}</ref> By 2016, the West Coast states [[Decriminalization of non-medical cannabis in the United States|legalized marijuana]] after California [[Adult Use of Marijuana Act|voted]] to do so.<ref name="Amid tide of red">{{cite news |last1=Fuller |first1=Thomas |last2=Healy |first2=Jack |last3=Johnson |first3=Kirk |title=Amid Tide of Red on Electoral Map, West Coast Stays Defiantly Blue |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/12/us/west-coast-trump.html |work=The New York Times |access-date=November 14, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201108122033/https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/09/us/politics/marijuana-legalization.html |archive-date=November 8, 2020 |location=San Francisco |date=November 11, 2016}}</ref> According to a 2019 [[Pew Research Center]] poll, 72% of adults in Pacific states said that "climate change is affecting their local community at least some", higher than in any other region in the country.<ref name="Pew climate change">{{cite web |last1=Hefferon |first1=Meg |title=Most Americans say climate change impacts their community, but effects vary by region |url=https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/12/02/most-americans-say-climate-change-impacts-their-community-but-effects-vary-by-region/ |publisher=Pew Research Center |access-date=November 14, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201001112945/https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/12/02/most-americans-say-climate-change-impacts-their-community-but-effects-vary-by-region/ |archive-date=October 1, 2020 |date=December 2, 2019}}</ref>

Since [[1992 United States presidential election|1992]], the three states have voted for [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrats]] in presidential elections without interruption, but Oregon and Washington also voted for the Democratic presidential candidate in [[1988 United States presidential election|1988]].<ref name="50 years of EC">{{cite news |last1=Monkovic |first1=Toni |title=50 Years of Electoral College Maps: How the U.S. Turned Red and Blue |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/23/upshot/50-years-of-electoral-college-maps-how-the-us-turned-red-and-blue.html |work=The New York Times |access-date=November 13, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201108141347/https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/23/upshot/50-years-of-electoral-college-maps-how-the-us-turned-red-and-blue.html |archive-date=November 8, 2020 |date=August 22, 2016}}</ref> 
[[File:US House 2022.svg|400px|thumb|After the [[2022 United States House of Representatives elections |2022 elections]], the Democratic Party controlled every single Western coastal seat in the [[United States House of Representatives]].]]
In the 2010s, Democrats strengthened their political power along the West Coast. After winning a [[2017 Washington's 45th state senate district special election|special election]] for a seat in the Washington state senate in 2017, Democrats built a [[government trifecta]] in all three West Coast states.<ref name="West Coast trifectas">{{cite news |last1=Weigel |first1=David |title=Democrats now control all branches of state government along the West Coast |newspaper=The Washington Post |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/democrats-now-control-all-branches-of-government-along-the-west-coast/2017/11/09/09b99d78-c406-11e7-aae0-cb18a8c29c65_story.html |access-date=November 13, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180926140000/https://www.washingtonpost.com/powerpost/democrats-now-control-all-branches-of-government-along-the-west-coast/2017/11/09/09b99d78-c406-11e7-aae0-cb18a8c29c65_story.html |archive-date=September 26, 2018 |date=November 9, 2017}}</ref> After the [[2022 U.S. House of Representatives elections]], Democrats controlled all congressional districts touching the Pacific.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Mishanec |first=Nora |date=November 22, 2022 |title=Democrats now control all House seats along the Pacific Ocean for the first time in memory |work=San Francisco Chronicle |url=https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/After-key-California-victories-Democrats-control-17604460.php}}</ref>

Hawaii is not usually considered part of the West Coast in the political definition, though it is considered a Democratic stronghold. Before achieving statehood in 1959, Hawaii became a state favorable to Democrats to the point that they sought statehood for the territory. [[Southern Democrats]] opposed the move because it would mean additional votes against their region on several issues.<ref name="Disputes over statehood">{{cite news |last1=Sprunt |first1=Barbara |title=Simmering Disputes Over Statehood Are About Politics And Race.

Unlike the other West Coast states, Alaska has been a reliable state for Republicans in presidential elections. Since achieving statehood, Alaska has voted for the Democratic presidential candidate only once in [[1964 United States presidential election in Alaska|1964]]. In [[1960 United States presidential election in Alaska|1960]], the state narrowly voted for Republican [[Richard Nixon]] over Democrat [[John F. Kennedy]] and had voted for Republicans uninterrupted since [[1968 United States presidential election in Alaska|1968]].<ref name="Alaska long history">{{cite news |last1=Martinson |first1=Erica |title=Alaska has a long history of voting strongly Republican for president.

All five West Coast states united in voting for Johnson in his 1964 landslide, while in [[1972 United States presidential election|1972]] and [[1984 United States presidential election|1984]], this occurred again as [[Richard Nixon|Nixon]] and [[Ronald Reagan|Reagan]] got support from all 5.
