===Politics=== A portion of Monroe County is represented in the [[Arkansas State Senate]] by the Republican [[Ron Caldwell (Arkansas politician)|Ronald R. Caldwell]], a [[real estate]] businessman from [[Wynne, Arkansas|Wynne]] in [[Cross County, Arkansas|Cross County]]. The [[Arkansas House of Representatives|state representative]] from Monroe County is a [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrat]], [[Marshall Wright (politician)|Marshall Wright]], a lawyer from [[Forrest City, Arkansas|Forrest City]] in [[St. Francis County, Arkansas|St. Francis County]]. Prior to 2000, Monroe was considered an "ancestral" Democratic county, with exceptions for the [[1972 United States presidential election|1972]] and [[1984 United States presidential election|1984]] landslides of [[Richard Nixon]] and [[Ronald Reagan]], respectively. Former Governor [[Bill Clinton]] won this county twice in his presidential runs: [[1992 United States presidential election|1992]] and [[1996 United States presidential election|1996]]. [[John Kerry]] won the county in [[2004 United States presidential election|2004]], the most recent Democrat to do so. Over the past few election cycles Monroe has trended a bit more to the Republican Party, albeit with less fervor than its neighboring counties. [[Barack Obama]] lost the county by only two votes in his [[2012 United States presidential election|2012]] run, and former Arkansas First Lady [[Hillary Clinton]] lost it by more than six points, 51%-45%, in her [[2016 United States presidential election|2016]] race. {{PresHead|place=Monroe County, Arkansas|source=<ref name="DL">{{cite web|title=Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections|url=https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/|access-date=November 18, 2016}}</ref>}} <!-- PresRow should be {{PresRow|Year|Winning party|GOP vote #|Dem vote #|3rd party vote #|State}} --> {{PresRow|2024|Republican|1,385|1,002|46|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|2020|Republican|1,545|1,147|124|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|2016|Republican|1,489|1,312|83|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|2012|Republican|1,585|1,583|62|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|2008|Republican|1,754|1,615|80|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|2004|Democratic|1,586|2,049|32|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|2000|Democratic|1,329|1,910|54|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1996|Democratic|973|2,247|238|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1992|Democratic|1,324|2,578|370|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1988|Democratic|1,862|2,052|58|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1984|Republican|2,508|2,413|50|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1980|Democratic|2,027|2,686|116|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1976|Democratic|1,285|3,556|7|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1972|Republican|2,897|1,578|91|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1968|American Independent|804|1,783|2,406|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1964|Democratic|1,968|2,258|11|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1960|Democratic|833|1,856|379|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1956|Democratic|1,099|1,460|75|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1952|Democratic|947|1,834|0|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1948|Democratic|299|1,431|620|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1944|Democratic|291|1,311|4|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1940|Democratic|128|1,494|2|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1936|Democratic|82|1,102|3|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1932|Democratic|170|1,753|12|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1928|Democratic|411|851|1|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1924|Democratic|330|838|101|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1920|Republican|912|834|30|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1916|Democratic|508|741|0|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1912|Democratic|400|537|277|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1908|Republican|1,022|912|48|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1904|Democratic|555|757|14|Arkansas}} {{PresRow|1900|Democratic|403|708|0|Arkansas}} {{PresFoot|1896|Democratic|436|1,019|137|Arkansas}}
