==Politics== Since the second half of the 20th century, Oklahoma County has been quite conservative for an urban county. It swung from a 20-point victory for [[Harry Truman]] in [[1948 United States presidential election in Oklahoma|1948]] to a 15-point victory for [[Dwight Eisenhower]] in [[1952 United States presidential election in Oklahoma|1952]]. It has gone Republican in all but one presidential election since then; it narrowly voted for [[Lyndon Johnson]] in 1964. This mirrors the growing Republican trend in Oklahoma since the end of [[World War II]]. It was one of the few areas in the South where [[Jimmy Carter]] didn't do well. However, the Republican share of votes for president has decreased in every election since the 2004 election (with the exception of 2024). In the [[2022 Oklahoma gubernatorial election]], Democratic candidate [[Joy Hofmeister]] received her largest vote share of any county, with 55.0% of the vote and a modest improvement over the 2018 Democratic candidate, [[Drew Edmondson|Drew Edmonson]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Krehbiel |first=Randy |date=November 1, 2022 |title=Suburban and Rural Voters Make Stitt a Winner - Again |pages=1 |work=[[Tulsa World]] |url=https://tulsaworld.com/news/local/government-politics/suburban-and-rural-voters-make-stitt-a-winner-again/article_794cd036-6066-11ed-ad9c-3b69b5151385.html |access-date=May 24, 2023 |via=[[Newsbank]]}}</ref> Incumbent Republican [[Mary Fallin|Governor Mary Fallin]] was the last member of her party to win the county with 51.3% in 2014.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/elections/2014/oklahoma-elections|title=Oklahoma Election Results|newspaper=The New York Times}}</ref> Also, in the [[2018 United States House of Representatives elections in Oklahoma]], Democrat [[Kendra Horn]] received 52.3% of the vote in Oklahoma County, which was the only county in the state to vote for a Democratic House candidate, thereby changing parties.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://results.okelections.us/OKER/?elecDate=20181106 | title=OK Election Results | archive-url=https://archive.today/20210624155124/https://results.okelections.us/OKER/?elecDate=20181106 | archive-date=2021-06-24}}</ref> Horn would carry the county again in her [[2022 United States Senate special election in Oklahoma|2022 Senate run]], becoming the first Democratic Senatorial candidate to carry the county since [[David Boren]]'s [[1990 United States Senate election in Oklahoma|1990 landslide]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Leip |first=Dave |date=2019 |title=Oklahoma Results for 1990 |url=https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/compare.php?year=1990&fips=40&f=0&off=3&elect=0&class=2&type=state |access-date=August 23, 2023 |website=Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Elections}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=November 8, 2022 |title=Oklahoma Election Results |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/11/08/us/elections/results-oklahoma.html |access-date=August 23, 2023 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> In the [[2020 United States Presidential election]], Republican [[Donald Trump]] narrowly carried the county (1% margin), down from 10 points in 2016. It was also the best showing for a Democrat in the county since LBJ. In 2024, Trump won the county, but again by a narrow plurality. However, his margin of victory was slightly larger while receiving less votes than in 2020. ===County commissioners=== {|class="wikitable sortable" ! District ! Name ! Party !
