Jessica Fancy Landry has defeated Conservative incumbent Rick Perkins in South Shore–St. Margaret’s.
Fancy Landry said she was proud of her team’s work, calling it a “positive and energetic campaign” that focused on meeting voters face-to-face.
“I could not be prouder of my family, my team, and my central campaign crew,” she said.
She promised to work with all residents, adding, “We have a lot of work to do, and a lot of partnerships to build — and frankly, rebuild.”
In the 2021 Canadian federal election, Perkins defeated Liberal incumbent and Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard Bernadette Jordan.

Liberal Sean Fraser won the riding of Central Nova which encompasses Pictou County, the municipality of the District of St. Mary’s and sections of HRM.
Fraser and Conservative candidate Brycen Jenkins were neck and neck for most of Monday night, until Fraser pulled out the win.
Fraser threw his hat back in the ring after stepping away from federal politics in December to spend more time with family.
A phone call from Prime Minister Mark Carney changed his mind, even after a Liberal candidate was already selected.
Central Nova:
Sean Fraser, Liberals (incumbent): 25, 612
Brycen Jenkins, Conservatives: 21, 201
Jesiah MacDonald, New Democratic Party: 1, 621
Gerald Romsa, Green Party: 444
Charlie MacEachern, People’s Party: 327
Alexander MacKenzie, Independent: 232
