Long-time Progressive Conservative incumbent Peter Trynchy, who had been in the legislature since 1971 and held numerous cabinet portfolios, ran for re-election that year. Trynchy faced a tough fight to keep his seat from Liberal candidate Jurgen Preugschas. Trynchy ran for his final term in office in the 1997 election. He won a large majority to easily retain his seat. The second member to represent the riding is George VanderBurg. He was elected to his first term with a landslide majority in the 2001 general election. He won a second term with a greatly reduced margin in the 2004 general election. VanderBurg was appointed to a cabinet portfolio in the Alberta government for the first time in 2006. He won his third term in office with a larger margin against Senator-in-waiting Link Byfield in the 2008 general election. In the 2012 general election, he retained his seat for a fourth term in office by a narrow margin over the Wildrose candidate, Maryann Chichak. VanderBurg lost the seat in the 2015 general election to Oneil Carlier of the NDP, falling to third place behind Wildrose candidate John Bos. Following his election victory, Carlier was named Minister of Agriculture and Forestry in the new government.
