And close behind her was Liberal Neil Ellils, followed by the Green’s Danny Celovsky and finishing well back was the People’s Party candidate Paul Bordonaro.
In Hastings-Lennox and Addington, the results were similar with Conservatives on top followed by the NDP and then the Liberals.
However in Northumberland-Peterborough South riding, the NDP candidate finished first followed by the Greens and then the Conservatives.
