2019 Canada election results: Saint John—Rothesay

Voters in Saint John—Rothesay reelected Liberal incumbent Wayne Long as their MP in the 2015 election.

Long has not been afraid to criticize the Liberal government, which still earned him a reelection in a riding that leans Conservative but has elected members of both parties in the past.

Long had to fend off a challenge from the man he defeated in 2015, Conservative Rodney Weston.
