Bossio lost the seat to MP Derek Sloan in 2019, who was at the time a member of the Conservative Party. He has since been ousted from caucus  and is now sitting as an independent MP.

In the previous election, which took place in 2015, Bossio narrowly defeated the now MPP for Lennox and Addington, Daryl Kramp.

Bossio has spent the past year working as a senior advisor for rural affairs under Maryam Monsef, Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Rural Economic Development.
