Lewis was a former Kingsville councillor.
As the name suggests, the riding consists of a large portion of Essex County. Amherstburg, Essex, Kingsville and LaSalle all lie within the district, along with the portion of Lakeshore that sits west of Rochester Townline Road. Lake Erie borders the south with Lake St. Clair sitting on Essex riding’s north side.
