Federal election 2021: Liberal Sean Casey projected to win Charlottetown
CBC
Thanking supporters just after CBC News projected he would win again in the federal riding of Charlottetown, Sean Casey said he really wanted to beat Conservative Doug Currie.
"I expected it to be hard and it was," said Casey.
This is Casey's fourth win in Charlottetown, seeing him earn 46 per cent of the vote in a five-party race.
"This is my fourth election. I had a good feeling on the doorsteps," he said.
"This is the first time that I've felt the full force of the Big Blue Machine. This is the first time that the Conservatives have targeted this riding. So I knew I was in a battle. And to watch the results come in… it's humbling."
Casey credited his team for their work during the campaign.
"This is the first time I've ever run against someone who's won an election before — and Doug's never lost one," he said.
