Overview of Louis-Hébert Riding
Louis-Hébert, located in the Capitale-Nationale region, is currently represented by Geneviève Guilbault at the National Assembly. Guilbault, who previously served as a minister for the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ), announced she would not seek re-election in the upcoming general elections this fall. She plans to leave politics for personal and family reasons.
Guilbault was first elected in 2017 and subsequently re-elected in 2018 and 2022. Fauchon’s candidacy represents PQ’s efforts to secure representation in a riding that will be vacated by a seasoned politician.
While Fauchon is not yet the official candidate for the upcoming elections, she is vying to be nominated as PQ’s representative for Louis-Hébert in the general elections.
