Cumberland by-election results

Congratulations Tory!  Tory McGregor received 5.8% of the popular vote in the Cumberland by-election held on June 25.  He came in third place after Doyle Vermette of the NDP (49.7%), and Dale McAuley of the Sask Party (44.5%).  Tory worked extremely hard during the campaign, knocking on every door in La Ronge and traveling to several surrounding communities.  Tory’s result shows just how important it is for GPS candidates to get out and talk with voters.
