- Caldwell was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba in the 1999 provincial election, and resigned his seat on Brandon City Council. Marion Robinsong was elected as his replacement, defeating five other candidates.[1] Robinsong is a retired teacher, and alumnus of Brandon University, and a supporter of the New Democratic Party. She had been appointed to the Board of Governors of Brandon University shortly before her election.[2] Robinsong campaigned for Mayor of Brandon in 2002, but finished third against Dave Burgess. As of 2007, she serves on the Board of Directors of the Brandon Regional Health Authority.[3]
