There was no incumbent in Marquette heading into the 2018 election.
Liberal MNA François Ouimet was first elected in 1994 and held on to the riding for 24 years. Ouimet was booted out by the Liberals on the eve of his nomination meeting in August to make room for “party renewal.”
He was replaced by political newcomer Enrico Ciccone, a former NHLer.
History
The Marquette electoral division was created in 1980. It was named after Father Jacques Marquette, a Jesuit missionary and explorer who lived in the 17th Century.
