On account of the realignment of electoral boundaries, most incumbents did not represent the entirety of their listed district during the preceding legislative term. Randy Hawes of the British Columbia Liberal Party was initially elected during the 2005 election and 2001 election to the Maple Ridge-Mission riding.
