The district has voted Progressive Conservative since 1982, with the exception of a by-election and the 2015, 2019 and 2021 elections. The district's borders shifted slightly south and west in the new redistribution, taking in small parts of the Humber Valley and the former Grand Falls-Buchans districts.
