It was a big night for the NDP in northern Ontario, doubling the number of seats it held at Queen's Park.

Sarah Campbell held onto Kenora-Rainy River for the New Democrats and promises to be there for her constituents.

Campbell captured 49 per cent of votes cast.


Progressive Conservative Candidate Rod McKay finished in second place with 38 per cent of the vote, but says he's not too disappointed.


Liberal candidate Anthony Leek finished a distant third in voting.

Leek says a lack of adequate resources and organizational support hurt his campaign.

Leek is planning to run again in the next provincial election.
