She has held it since.The now nine-time election winner previously helped run a small family business and worked in economic development in Pembroke.The regular independent boundary review that followed the 2021 census concluded it was better to recognize the Algonquin Anishinābe history in the area than the small part of Nipissing District it holds.

Liberal Cyndi Mills came second after a third-place finish for the party in 2021.Algonquin-Renfrew-Pembroke’s boundaries are unchanged from previous federal elections, a rarity for the region in 2025.
