Political History
New Democrat Tony Martin earned a fourth term in office when he defeated Conservative Cameron Ross by 1,141 votes in 2008.
In 2006, Martin defeated Liberal Christian Provenzano by 2,154 votes. Provenzano is the nephew of the late Carmen Provenzano, who in 2004 was also defeated by Martin in a tight race, with a difference of only 752 votes.
Carmen Provenzano was first elected in 1997. He succeeded another Liberal, Ron Irwin, who was minister of Indian affairs and northern development.
Liberal G.E. Nixon held Algoma West from 1940 to 1965 inclusive. In 1968, Liberal Terry Murphy won. New Democrat Cyril Symes won in 1972, 1974 and 1979, but lost to Irwin in 1980.
In 1984, PC Jim Kelleher served a single term and was appointed minister of international trade and solicitor general under Brian Mulroney. In 1988, the riding swung back to the New Democrats, when Steve Butland went to Ottawa for a single term.
