Monaghan won this seat against incumbent, Jeff Collins, despite it being a marginal victory, it was one of the competitive races which decided the 2020 election.

Monaghan was selected by his caucus as speaker in 2023 after a struggle to fill the speakership following the resignation of Kezia Purick. He lost his seat to the CLP's Tanzil Rahman at the 2024 election.
