Vote 2015 – Richmond–Arthabaska
The Conservative Party has high hopes that their Quebec candidate Alain Rayes, the current Mayor of Victoriaville, will secure the Richmond–Arthabaska riding. It was represented by André Bellavance, who was elected as a Bloc Québécois MP in 2004 but became an independent member last year. The sovereignist party is now counting on Olivier Nolin, a young biologist, to win back this seat in Parliament. Rayes and Nolin are up against the NDP’s Myriam Beaulieu, a farmer and journalist, as well as the Liberal Party’s Marc Desmarais, a lobbyist who has spent years in the political arena. The Rhinoceros Party has nominated Antoine Dubois for this race. Danielle Young looks at this riding and the candidates vying for a seat in the House of Commons.
