Political History:The NDP's Dennis Drainville won the riding of Victoria-Haliburton in 1990, only to resign three years later because he disagreed with a move by Bob Rae's government to allow casino gambling in the province. In the ensuing byelection, PC candidate Chris Hodgson took the seat. He would later be appointed natural resources minister and deputy house leader. In 2003, Hodgson resigned from the cabinet of Ernie Eves and announced that he would not run again. However, the riding remained in PC hands as Laurie Scott easily outdistanced Liberal Jason Ward by 7,100 votes. (The CBC does not endorse and is not responsible for the content of external sites.
