## Government and Politics

[edit]

### Law enforcement

[edit]

In the 1970s and into the 1980s, federal law-enforcement officials concentrated their efforts against drug smuggling on Starr County.[19]

On May 1, 2009, the former sheriff of Starr County, Reymundo Guerra, a Democrat, pleaded guilty in federal court to a narcotics conspiracy charge.[20]

In April 2016, Starr County Justice of the Peace Salvador Zarate Jr., faced up to 20 years imprisonment and a $10,000 fine on two counts of bribery for accepting a $500 bribe in exchange for reducing bond on two persons arrested on narcotics charges in an incident on Christmas Eve 2014. He was found not guilty of possession of a controlled substance. Zarate was expected to appeal any sentence rendered.[21]

### Presidential elections

[edit]

Starr County has long been a strongly Democratic county, but has suffered from low voter turnout with only about 20% of its 53,000 residents voting. No Republican has won the county for president since incumbent Benjamin Harrison in 1892; as of 2020, Starr has the longest streak of voting for Democrats in the entire country. Its streak is currently almost triple the length of Minnesota's Democratic streak, which began in 1976.[22] In 1988, the county gave Michael Dukakis his highest vote share in the nation.[23] In 2008, Illinois Senator Barack H. Obama won Starr County with 8,274 votes (84 percent). In the most recent election, Donald Trump came within five points of winning the county, receiving 8,247 votes (47 percent) to Joe Biden's 9,123 (52 percent). This was a major shift from Hillary Clinton's 60-point margin of victory four years earlier, and represented the strongest pro-Trump swing of any county in the nation.[24][25]
