Politics

Price County was originally a Republican stronghold which became a swing county and bellwether beginning in the Depression years, voting for the nationwide winner in every election from 1928 to 1984 except for the very closely contested 1960 election. Recently, starting in 1988 it saw a Democratic trend through 2012 (with the exception of 2000). Several of these elections were particularly close; in 2004, Democrat John Kerry won the county by a narrow plurality of 37 votes. While the county swung strongly Democratic in 2008 to support Barack Obama, the best such performance since 1964, in 2012 Obama lost ground and only carried the county by 3 votes. In 2016 the county swung hard to the right in support of Donald Trump, who became the first Republican to carry it by over 60% since Warren G. Harding in 1920. Trump improved his margins in both 2020 and 2024.[29]
