Mike Windsor
Mike Windsor; born in Wesleyville, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada[1] is a Canadian political candidate running in the 2019 Canadian federal election in the riding of Bonavista-Burin-Trinity for the Conservative Party of Canada.
Career
Windsor was born in Wesleyville but moved to the city of St. John's, travelling between the two cities during the summers. His father was a quadriplegic caused by polio, and Windsor says his father's work ethic was an inspiration to him.[2] Windsor attended Memorial University and received a Bachelor's degree of Science and Education, as well as a Ministry Diploma. Using his degrees, he travelled throughout Newfoundland teaching and preaching in a variety of capacities. He then moved to Alberta to work as a guidance counsellor and, at one point, was a voluntary chaplain for the RCMP.[2]
Political Life
In 2015, Windsor was selected as the candidate for the Conservative Party of Canada for the riding of Bonavista-Burin-Trinity during the 2015 Canadian federal election. After losing the election, he was selected once again as the candidate during the Bonavista-Burin-Trinity by-election of 2017, which he lost to the current Bonavista-Burin-Trinity MP Churence Rogers. On July 19th, 2018, he was selected once again as the nominee for the Conservatives in his home riding for the 2019 Canadian federal election.
