The riding of Mississauga East–Cooksville saw its boundaries shifted after the 2014 Ontario election as a part of a provincial riding redistribution process that saw new ridings created and several existing riding boundaries changed. Mississauga East—Cooksville saw the northwest part of the old riding moved to the new riding of Mississauga Centre and the southern part of the old Mississauga—Brampton South riding incorporated into the new Mississauga East—Cooksville riding. Dipika Damerla, who most recently served as the Minister of Seniors Affairs, is seeking her third term representing Mississauga East—Cooksville. She was first elected provincially in 2011 and succeeded Liberal MPP Peter Fonseca.
