She was named the Conservative representative after the retirement of long-time MP Garry Breitkreuz, who won in the riding as a Conservative, Alliance, and Reform candidate in elections in 2011, 2008, 2006, 2004, 2000, 1997 and 1993.

Prior to Breitkreuz’ election in 1993, the riding was firmly in the hands of the New Democratic Party.

Lorne Nystrom held the riding for the NDP from 1968 to 1993, winning in seven consecutive elections.

The Yorkton-Melville riding encompasses a number of local communities, including Porcupine Plain, Hudson Bay, Naicam, and St. Brieux among others.
