The Mississippi Valley is known as one of several swing regions in the country. In other words, both Democrats and Republicans have an equal chance of getting elected. However, the superregion, and both regions, lean slightly in favor of Democrats. Both the Midwest and the Gulf Coast, traditionally has one senator from each party representing them. However, that changed in 2016 when the Midwest elected two Republican senators ([[Andrew Graham]], and [[Ron Casey]], and the Gulf Coast elected Democrat [[Evelyn Breaux]] to serve alongside fellow Democrat [[Red Blanchard]]. On a superregional level, there have been two Democratic governors ([[Carter Glass]] (2009-2013), and [[Johnny Green]] (2013-2015))who have served for a total of six years, and one Republican governor ([[Brian Murphy]])who has served for two years, but was reelected to a full four year term in 2016.
