Campbell (electoral district)
Campbell was a territorial
Legislative Assembly of Yukon
from 1978 to 1992.
The district was first created for the
independent MLA, despite the adoption of a new political party structure in territorial politics; Bob Fleming was particularly disdainful of party politics during the campaign, calling it a "great schmozzle",[2] but relented and joined the Yukon Progressive Conservative Party in 1981.[3] Fleming was defeated in the 1982 Yukon general election by Dave Porter of the Yukon New Democratic Party
, and the district remained an NDP stronghold for the remainder of its existence.
The district was dissolved in 1992, when it was redistributed into Ross River-Southern Lakes.[4]
