Home > John Herron


John Herron is a politician who was first elected to the House of Commons of Canada in 1997 and was re-elected in 2000. Herron was a member of the Progressive Conservative Party and did not support its merger with the Canadian Alliance into the Conservative Party of Canada in 2003. Herron refused to join the new party and, on February 6, 2004, announced that he would sit for the remainder of the Parliamentary session as an Independent Progressive Conservative, and would run in the 2004 election as candidate for the Liberal Party of Canada.

Herron became infamous during the 2003 Progressive Conservative leadership convention when Herron abandoned the campaign of Scott Brison before the second ballot. Brison lost on the second ballot to Jim Prentice by 3 votes, many blamed this loss on Herron.
