The 2015 federal election saw a tightly-contested race in which Liberal Randy Boissonnault won by 1199 votes. Conservative Laurie Hawn represented Edmonton Centre for three terms before Boissonnault. In 2004, Hawn lost a narrow race to Liberal Anne McLellan by just 721 votes.
Boissonnault is a member of the parliamentary standing committees on Canadian heritage, and justice and human rights. He also serves as the special adviser to the prime minister on LBGTQ2 issues. Boissonnault is the first openly-gay MP from Alberta.
