Vernon-Lake Country-Monashee winner

The 2025 Federal Election ended with Conservative candidate Scott Anderson securing his first term as MP for Vernon-Lake Country-Monashee.

Anderson will go on to represent the riding for the Conservatives in Parliament.

“I’m very honored that the that the citizens of Vernon-Lake Country-Monashee elected me to represent them,” said Anderson.

Anderson says although his party did not form government, he vows to hold the federal government accountable.

“I’m looking forward to holding the liberals to account. I want my daughter-who’s  in her 20’s- to someday be able to afford a home, and under the current expenditures and debt load that that the Liberals have put Canada under, I don’t see that happening. We have to change our ways and and tighten our belts a little bit.”
