Political History
This area has given its support to the Conservatives in every election for the past 80 years, save for 1993, when Liberal Paul Zed won office.
Zed was beaten in 1997 by Tory John Herron. In 2000, Herron won again, this time over the Liberals' John King. In February 2004, Herron left the newly merged Conservatives to sit as an Independent and ran as a Liberal in the 2004 election. He was defeated by Conservative Rob Moore. Moore won again in 2006, beating Liberal Eldon Hunter.
