History
The electorate of Wright has existed since the 1993 election. The seat was won by the Liberal Party at the 1993 landslide election but has been won by Labor at every other election.
The seat was created as a notionally safe Labor seat, but at the 1993 election a landslide swept in the Liberal Party’s Scott Ashenden.
In 1997, Ashenden lost to the ALP’s Jennifer Rankine. Rankine was re-elected four times, and retired in 2018.
Labor’s Blair Boyer won Wright in 2018, and was re-elected in 2022.
