Jeremy Harrison is the big winner in the race for the Meadow Lake provincial electoral district in Monday night’s election.

The Saskatchewan Party incumbent was declared the winner based on the results from the first preliminary count on election night.

While the final numbers are still being confirmed, based on the latest results Harrison won the race with a wide lead, coming in with 4,348 total votes or 72 per cent of the vote, followed by the NDP’s Harmonie King with 1,536 total votes or 25.4 per cent of the vote, and the Green Party’s Carol Vandale trailing with 158 total votes or 2.6 per cent of the vote.

During his acceptance speech at his campaign office, Harrison said thank you to the voters of Meadow Lake for their continued support.

“This is a huge honour to have been re-elected for now the fourth term,” he said. “I just want to thank from the bottom of my heart the voters of this constituency who I have had the chance to get to know so well.”

Harrison said he has lived in the Meadow Lake area his whole life, and through the course of the campaign has had an opportunity to get to know the people even better.

He said he and the Sask. Party team look forward to returning to work, and will be “back at it tomorrow, making sure we have a strong economic recovery through COVID-19, as we’ve been seeing over the course of the last number of months.”

Harrison said the Sask. Party government will continue to put in place policies and make decisions that will ensure the province “continues to have the strongest economic recovery from COVID-19 in the entire country.”

This is the fourth time Harrison won the constituency in the provincial election. He was first elected MLA in 2007 and went on to hold on to the seat in the 2011 and 2016 elections also.

When he was previously first elected to parliament in 2004, Harrison became one of the youngest Canadians to ever sit in the House of Commons.
