Conservative candidate Frank Caputo is heading back to Ottawa having been re-elected as the MP for the Kamloops-Thompson-Nicola riding. As of 9:30 p.m. on Monday night, April 28, he has 53.7 per cent of the votes with 62 per cent of the polls counted so far.
In an exclusive interview with Black Press following the win, Caputo said, "It’s a tremendous honour to once again return to the House of Commons, this time representing the people of Kamloops-Thompson-Nicola. I am indebted to my family, my wife, my children, my campaign team and the volunteers who helped me. I still struggle to understand how people would put an X beside my name as somebody who lived a pretty ordinary life in the North Shore of Kamloops. It will be an honour to once again take my seat, to earn the trust of those who did not vote for me and to not let down those who did. I will be an MP to all whether you voted for me, didn’t vote for me or didn’t vote at all. It’s truly an honour and this is a great day for me."
