Williamstown is one of only three seats that have existed continuously since 1856 (the others are Brighton and Richmond). Although Williamstown itself has become heavily gentrified, the seat is kept safe for Labor by working-class voters in Altona, Newport and Spotswood. Labor has held Williamstown continuously since 1904. John Lemmon, who held it from 1904 to 1955, remains the longest-serving Victorian MP. Two Labor Premiers, Joan Kirner and Steve Bracks, have held the seat. Recent members (all Labor): Gordon Stirling 1973-88, Joan Kirner 1988-94, Steve Bracks 1994-2007, Wade Noonan 2007-2018, Melissa Horne since 2018.
