Regina Walsh Acres is a relatively new constituency in provincial politics. It was formed for the 2003 provincial election out of slices of several neighbouring seats. The winning MLA in 2003 was Sandra Morin of the NDP, a Safeway cashier. Morin was re-elected in 2007, without a Sask Party opponent. The Sask Party candidate was withdrawn before election day after allegations were made against him. This time, there is most definitely a Sask Party candidate in Regina Walsh Acres. His name is Warren Steinley, and he is currently Director of Research for the Sask Party Caucus. After this Monday, he will be the next MLA for Regina Walsh Acres when he defeats Sandra Morin. After the three Sask Party incumbents in Regina are re-elected on Monday night, Regina Walsh Acres will be next Sask Party gain in Regina.

The other candidate in Regina Walsh Acres is Bart Soroka for the Greens. This is Bart's first run for public office.
