Editing Monroe, Connecticut (section)

==Government==
Monroe is a stalwart Republican town at the presidential level with the longest streak of supporting the GOP in Fairfield County. No Democrat has won the town in over 60 years. [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] came the closest in his landslide victory in 1964, having lost the town by only 17 votes to [[Barry Goldwater|Barry M. Goldwater]]. It is the only municipality in Fairfield County (and one of only four statewide) that voted for Goldwater and subsequently voted for [[Donald Trump]] in all three of his elections.<ref>https://authoring.ct.gov//SOTS/Election-Services/Statement-Of-Vote-PDFs/General-Elections-Statement-of-Vote-1922</ref>
