Riding Info
This riding is in southern New Brunswick on the Bay of Fundy. It contains parts of the counties of Albert, Kings, Queens, Saint John and Westmoreland and includes St. Martins, Salisbury, Sussex and Petitcodiac, as well as part of Quispamsis.
The riding was established in 1914 as Royal and became Fundy-Royal in the 1966 redistribution. It was established as Fundy in the 2004 redistribution, when two-fifths of the Fundy-Royal riding was carved away and replaced with one-fifth of Beauséjour-Petitcodiac and smaller parts of Moncton-Riverview-Dieppe and Saint John.
Population: 69,471 (2006 census; an increase of 302% since 2001)
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, and in 2008, won by more than 9,000 votes over New Democrat Rob Moir.
