[edit] Federal riding

The federal riding was created in 1996 as "Kent—Essex" from Essex—Kent and Kent ridings. Its name was changed to the present name in 1998.

The riding includes the Municipality of Chatham-Kent located south of the Thames River, the former City of Chatham, the Town of Leamington, and the Indian reserve of Moravian 47. The population in 2001 was 106,144 and the area is 1,924 sq. km.

[edit] Members of Parliament

This riding has elected the following member of the Members of Parliament:

Jerry Pickard, Liberal (1997-2006)
Dave Van Kesteren, Conservative (2006-present)

[edit] Politics

The riding has become more and more Conservative since its creation. Jerry Pickard retired just before the 2006 election campaign, and the federal Conservatives easily won this riding in the January 23rd, 2006 election.
