Houston has represented Picotu East in the Nova Scotia Legislature since 2013, winning re-election in 2017 and 2021, the year he was also named premier. He was named PC party leader in 2018.
A release from the PCs states some of the results Houston brought to the riding during his tenure include $2.1 million for the second and third phases of upgrading the Westville Miners Sports Centre, $3.5 million to replace the Eureka Mills Bridge, $370,000 to replace the ice plant at the Ivor MacDonald Memorial Arena in Thorburn, and nearly $600,000 to support CHAD Transit.
The set election date for the next provincial election is July 15, 2025, though Houston can call an election before then.
