Eric Duncan bests the field in Stormont-Dundas-Glengarry
It's the 3rd federal win in a row for the longtime local politician
CBC News is projecting a three-peat for Conservative Eric Duncan in Stormont-Dundas-Glengarry.
Voters have historically switched between the Liberals and Conservatives, though it's been Conservative since 2004 and Duncan's two recent wins have come with more than half the vote.
Before entering federal politics, Duncan was elected as a North Dundas councillor at age 18 and became mayor four years later. He went on to become warden of the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry.
Those three ridings comprise the majority of the riding in the southeast corner of eastern Ontario, along with part of Akwesasne and Cornwall.
The regular independent boundary review after the 2021 census united North and South Glengarry in the same riding, shortening the riding name to Stormont-Dundas-Glengarry rather than South Glengarry.
Five candidates ran here in this election. Liberal Sarah Good came in second.
