Red River Parish sits along its namesake waterway in northwest Louisiana, with a population under 10,000 that has trended sharply toward Republican presidential candidates over the past four election cycles, mirroring shifts across rural, majority-Black-plurality parishes in the region.

The shift began with civil rights. 2000 marked the realignment in Red River Parish, by a one points margin. The Republican margin reached its widest at thirty-eight points in 1972. The 2024 margin was twenty-seven points.

The political shift has tracked, in Red River Parish, the political shift of the South more broadly. A 57% non-Hispanic-white share, a median household income of $49,167, and a 26% poverty rate describe the demographic context. The county's voting pattern over the last decade is most similar to that of Choctaw County and Dallas County.
