Division of Pierce

The Division of Pierce is a Craftian federal division in the state of Berhardsson. It was created in 2040 and was first contested at the federal election later that year. It is named after Marcus Pierce (1949–2033), the third Prime Minister of Craftia, serving from 1990 to 1995, and is located in inner suburban Grumbroe, running diagonally from northwest to southeast and curving around the city's central business district.

The sitting member, since the 2070 federal election, is Marcelo Tynan, a member of the National United Party.

History
Grumbroe is one of the most progressive cities in Craftia. As a result, Craftian Conservative Party traditionally performs very poorly in the greater Grumbroe-Stromville region. On paper, Pierce is a left-wing marginal seat between the National United Party and the Liberal Party of Craftia. However, it has only changed hands once, in 2052, and has been held by the United Party since.
