The 1936 United States presidential election in Oregon took place on November 3, 1936, as part of the 1936 United States presidential election. Oregon voters chose five[2] representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Before the election, the primary focus was on power development in the water-rich and mountainous Pacific Northwest, especially the construction of major Federal dams[3] and whether power rates for all users should be uniform.[4] The Republican Party strongly supported private utilities, whilst Democrats generally supported at least some degree of public ownership and control of electric utilities.[5]
Oregon had been a virtually one-party Republican state outside a few Presidential and gubernatorial elections during the “System of 1896”; however, in 1932 under the influence of the Great Depression, Roosevelt had been the first Democrat since 1868 to win a majority of the state's vote. In 1936, despite some popular reservations about public-owned power, the Beaver State was won in a landslide by incumbent President Franklin D. Roosevelt (D–New York), running with Vice President John Nance Garner, with 64.42% of the popular vote, against Governor Alf Landon (R–Kansas), running with Frank Knox, with 29.64% of the popular vote.[6][7]
FDR's 64.42% result is the best ever achieved by a Democrat in Oregon, and he remains the only Democrat to sweep all Oregon's counties in a presidential election. Additionally, the 1936 election remains the last in which a Democratic presidential candidate won Josephine County.[8]
