History
Current New Democrat MPP Peggy Sattler originally took office during a 2013 by-election following the resignation of Liberal MPP Chris Bentley. 2014 saw Sattler edge out PC candidate Jeff Bennett by nearly 6,000 votes. This year gives Sattler a third shot at office along with an entirely new set of competitors. Former 980 CFPL talk show host Andrew Lawton made waves in London after receiving PC candidacy less than two weeks after seeking nomination.
