All three federal incumbents in Greater Moncton and southeastern New Brunswick have been re-elected for another term.
Liberal Ginette Petitpas Taylor is returning to Ottawa to represent the riding of Moncton-Dieppe.
She had around 63 per cent of the overall vote, compared to 31 per cent for Conservative Jocelyn Dionne.
Petitpas Taylor emphasized the need to address the challenges of a growing community.
“Moncton is one of the fastest-growing cities, and we need to continue building infrastructure to meet the growing needs of our community,” she said.
Petitpas Taylor expressed that she is ready to continue advocating for her community in Ottawa.
Beauséjour
Liberal Dominic LeBlanc has secured his ninth term in government representing the riding of Beauséjour.
With most of the polls reporting, LeBlanc had 59 per cent of the overall vote, while Conservative Nathalie Vautour had just under 35 per cent.
LeBlanc was unavailable for an interview with our newsroom following Monday’s election win.
Fundy Royal
Conservative Rob Moore is heading back to Ottawa for another term to represent the riding of Fundy Royal.
Unofficial results showed Moore with around 53 per cent of the vote, followed by Liberal candidate Bill Kudla with around 40 per cent.
“The message that we had in Fundy Royal resonated with voters on affordability, on lower taxes, safer streets,” Moore told our newsroom.
“Those were some of the things that I was hearing from constituents. And they endorsed our plan to deal with those things.”
This will be the seventh time that Moore has been elected in the riding, which now includes all of Riverview and has lost Quispamsis to Saint John-Kennebecasis.
“I’ve always represented a riding that had multiple municipalities, as many as 12 municipalities. So each and every one of them has some unique characteristics and unique challenges, and I do my best to represent them all,” he added.
