Global News has declared Conservative incumbent Tom Kmiec has the winner in the riding of Calgary Shepard.
Calgary Shepard was a new riding in 2015, created after boundary changes that meant Conservatives Jason Kenney and Deepak Obhrai ran in other ridings.
Most residents in the new riding — which is located in the city’s southeast and includes the neighbourhoods Dover and Erin Woods — voted similar to those in the old riding boundaries in 2015, electing former political aide to Kenney, Tom Kmiec, as their MP.
