In the National Assembly of Québec, Eastman belongs to Orford; who holds it as MNA (Member of the National Assembly, Québec’s legislature) isn’t on an open record, so no one is named. Eastman sends one MP to Ottawa from Brome—Missisquoi, its riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP): Louis Villeneuve (Liberal Party of Canada). The Liberal Party of Canada has 44 of the 78 MPs elected in Quebec. Voters in the municipality choose 6 councillors as well.

eastman.quebec ↗What this data can and can’t tell you
- Who holds each seat. MPs come from Wikidata’s records of the 45th Parliament, which can lag a resignation or a by-election by some days.
- Not on this page. Band councils, and what members did once elected: the open record stops at the vote.
- Election results. Two maps are in play: the 2013 ridings, on which 2019 and 2021 were counted, and the 2023 ridings, onto which Elections Canada transposed the 2021 vote poll by poll.
- Which riding. Ridings are assigned from the 2021 Census: the one with most residents first, then any holding 5% or more.
- Council size. Residents per seat divide the 2021 Census population by every council seat, the head of council’s included.
- Council money. Spending by service comes from MAMH’s consolidated 2024 financial report, revenue, debt and reserves from its financial profile, all per resident on MAMH’s population.
