Victory for Local Tories
Saskatchewan Conservatives were successful in all provincial ridings except one.
Longtime Liberal MP Ralph Goodale won his seat back in Regina Wascana. The Conservatives will bring experience back to the House of Commons. Gerry Ritz (pictured) for the Battlefords, Maurice Vellacott for Saskatoon-Wanuskewin, Brad Trost for Saskatoon-Humboldt, and Lynn Yelich for Blackstrap all get their seats for another term.
Candidates appeared at party headquarters at the Saskatoon Travelodge to celebrate their victory.
In the one close call of the night, it was down to the wire in Saskatoon-Rosetown-Biggar.
Newcomer Conservative Kelly Block was neck-and-neck with long time NDP candidate Nettie Wiebe until the very end, when the Tories pulled through by a handful of votes.
Ritz, who has recent'y been under fire in the media for off-color comments he made during the height of the listeriosis oubreak, refused to speak to national media after the election, opting only to talk to local reporters.
