Conservative Gary Vidal won the Desnethe Missinippi Churchill River riding in Monday’s federal election with around 42 percent of the vote.  He says he is overwhelmed by the win and is grateful for the tremendous support he received and will work for all people in the riding. He explains he didn’t run on anything where he has a specific issue list of things so he’s going to learn the job the best he can and make sure that he’s a great voice for northern Saskatchewan adding his job is representing everybody in the north and that’s what he’s going to set out to do.

Vidal replaces incumbent NDP MP Georgina Jolibois in the House of Commons.
