The riding, which has experienced few boundary changes over the years, has been held by the Progressive Conservatives for 19 years. Rob Leone won this riding for the PCs last election by just under 2,000 votes, replacing longtime PC MPP Gerry Martinuk, who had held the seat since 1995. The riding had been held by the NDP from 1975-1981 and 1987-1995, and the PCs from 1981-1987.
By the numbers
The riding is fairly average in most demographics and income rankings. The median age of 37.2 is the 18th lowest in southern Ontario.
Riding in a tweet
A riding that has been in the PC column for nearly two decades, Cambridge should stay with the Tories.
