Candice Bergen has been re-elected M-P for Portage-Lisgar. This is the fourth consecutive Federal election win for the incumbent Conservative candidate. Her first came in 2008, followed by her second win in 2011 and third in 2015.

"I'm more humbled and more grateful than ever," said Bergen Monday night. "These don't get easier, and I've worked very hard for the riding, and I feel like the people in this riding are so hard working. They care so much about their loved ones, their community, the world around them, and my job has been to try to reflect that in Ottawa in everything I do. To get a fourth term, a fourth re-election, I'm just incredibly grateful right now."

Bergen grew up in Morden and raised her family in Winkler, and described herself as a "small-town girl with small-town values, and traditional values" when asked what continues to resonate with voters in Portage-Lisgar.

"I think, overall, the people in Portage-Lisgar believe very strongly in lower taxes, in less government and in government being responsible and government being accountable, and those are Conservative values," explained Bergen. "And the people of Portage-Lisgar truly exemplify Conservative values."

When asked how her fourth campaign compared to her first in 2008, she said they are very similar in the sense of the importance she placed on talking to voters.

"For me, the election although obviously very important, it's the work I do between elections that is the service I can provide to the people of Portage-Lisgar," stressed Bergen. "And that remains the same. That doesn't change. I feel overwhelmed and grateful that I have got all this support, and my main goal is I want everyone who voted for me to be happy and proud they voted for me, and those who didn't vote for me, to know I will represent and serve them as well."

Bergen will be joined by returning Conservative M.P.'s Ted Falk who was re-elected in Provencher, and Larry Maguire who was re-elected in Brandon-Souris.

Justin Trudeau's Liberals ended up winning a minority government with 157 seats. The Conservatives took 121 seats while the Bloc Quebecois came third with 32. The NDP was next with 24.
