Federal Election - Thunder Bay-Rainy River

In Thunder Bay-Rainy River, NDP incumbent John Rafferty took almost 49 per cent of the vote in a successful bid for re-election.

But he says his win is tempered by the Conservatives winning a majority government.

Conservative Candidate Maureen Comuzzi-Stehmann came in second.

Stehmann says she's was elated by her campaign and is already looking to the next election.

Liberal Ken Boshcoff came in third, but has no regrets.

Less than 60 per cent of eligible voters in the riding cast ballots.
