Colour Thunder Bay Red
Liberal Michael Gravelle will be going back to Queens Park. Gravelle went
into Thursday's provincial election uncertain of his future, but he managed to
snap up about 45 per cent of the popular vote in Thunder Bay-Superior North
compared to 35 per cent for NDP candidate Steve Mantis. Anthony LeBlanc of the
Progressive Conservatives finishes with a disappointing 18 per cent of the
vote. In Thunder Bay-Atikokan a different story where Liberal incumbent Bill
Mauro squeaked by Mary Kozorys of the NDP with 39 per cent of the vote compared
to 37 per cent for Kozorys. Fred Gilbert of the P.C.'s finishes with 22 per cent
of the vote. In Kenora-Rainy River it was a cake walk for Sarah Campbell of the
NDP as she grabbed almost 50 per cent of the vote compared to 37 per cent for
the P.C.'s.
