Progressive Conservative candidate Andrew Dowie broke a nearly century-old trend by winning the Windsor-Tecumseh race.
Here are the latest results.
Dowie defeated Liberal Gary Kashak, NDP Gemma Gray Hall and Ontario’s Stephen Gifford.
“Together we have achieved the highest provincial vote for a conservative candidate in this ride in this century, and I could not be happier,” said Dowie.
Winning the seat, Dawie turned riding blue for the first time in 93 years.
For almost the last century, riding – under many different iterations of naming and boundaries – has been held by either a liberal or a member of the NDP.
“To all the people who believe and believe in me, I am here for you. “I’m here to be your servant to make sure our community is better,” Dowie said. “We will have an open door. You will be able to talk to me. We may not agree all the time, but I need to hear what you have to say. ”
Both the mayor of Windsor and Tecumseh publicly supported Dawi.
Some of the issues the candidates addressed during the campaign included healthcare, manufacturing and education.
“I live in the suburbs. I work in the urban area. “I’m well-rounded in terms of understanding the neighborhood,” Dawi said. “I look forward to really getting my teeth into almost every possible improvement we can find.”
