Following the 2012 federal electoral redistribution, the riding was renamed Medicine Hat—Cardston—Warner.[2]

Motz has been the riding's representative to Ottawa since then.

Soon after the province of Alberta was admitted to Confederation in 1905, this electoral district was created – in 1907 – from Alberta (Provisional District) and Assiniboia West ridings.

During the 2012 electoral redistribution, "Medicine Hat" was largely succeeded by "Medicine Hat—Cardston—Warner", losing territory to Bow River and Battle River—Crowfoot, and gaining territory from Lethbridge and Macleod.[9]
