William Henson Moore III is an American attorney and businessman who is a former member of the U.S. House of Representatives,having represented Louisiana's 6th congressional district,based about Baton Rouge,from 1975 to 1987. He was only the second Republican to have represented Louisiana in the House since Reconstruction,the first having been David C. Treen,then of Jefferson Parish.
The politics of Louisiana involve political parties,laws and the state constitution,and the many other groups that influence the governance of the state. The state was a one-party Deep South state dominated by the Democratic Party from the end of Reconstruction to the 1960s,forming the backbone of the "Solid South." This was due to the near-total disenfranchisement of the state's large African-American population during this time,who mostly voted Republican. The Civil Rights era turned the state into a competitive one on the federal level,as it voted for the nationwide winner in every election between 1972 and 2004. It remained Democratic on the state and local level until the turn of the 21st century,allowing Republicans to win control of the state legislature and every statewide office in 2011. Republicans won a United States Senate seat for Louisiana in the election of 2004,for the first time since 1876. Republicans captured both seats in the election of 2014 for the first time since 1872. In the election of 2008,the state voted for a losing presidential candidate for the first time since 1968. Democrats won less than 40% of the presidential popular vote in the state in the elections of 2016 and 2020.
