Federal riding

The federal riding was created in 1996 as "Kent—Essex" from Essex—Kent and Kent ridings. Its name was changed to the present name in 1998.

The riding includes the Municipality of Chatham-Kent located south of the Thames River, the former City of Chatham, the Town of Leamington, and the Indian reserve of Moravian 47. The population in 2001 was 106,144 and the area is 1,924 km².

Members of Parliament

This riding has elected the following member of the Members of Parliament:

Parliament	Years	Member		Party
Kent—Essex Riding created from Essex—Kent and Kent
36th	1997–2000		Jerry Pickard	Liberal
Chatham-Kent—Essex
37th	2000–2004		Jerry Pickard	Liberal
38th	2004–2006		Jerry Pickard	Liberal
39th	2006–2008		Dave Van Kesteren	Conservative
40th	2008–2011
41st	2011–2015
Riding dissolved into Chatham-Kent—Leamington

Politics

The riding is evenly divided between urban and rural voters, so both manufacturing and agricultural issues sway the results.

Jerry Pickard retired just before the 2006 election campaign, and the federal Conservatives won this riding in the January 23, 2006 election on the back of a promise to help farmers by scrapping the CAIS program. Area farmers believe this promise has not been kept,[3] but the Conservatives held on to the riding in 2008 and 2011.

gollark: Must I *really* deploy orbital question lasers?!

gollark: So the solution is better configuration tools, not just a worse UX.

gollark: The code is less complicated since it doesn't need to ship with some configurator tool, but it's also significantly more work unless you have a *really* bad configuration tool.

gollark: That is not actually simpler for the user.

gollark: Well, you could always use the PotatOS Computing Network™.
