New Democrat Lindsay Mathyssen has been elected to London-Fanshawe, taking over a seat her mother had held for years.
Since 2006, Irene Mathyssen had been victorious at every election, but she announced that she would not be seeking re-election in 2019. Mathyssen’s daughter Lindsay Mathyssen got the nomination and her election cements the NDP’s hold on the riding.
