Andrew Lawton, Elected MP by Peri Hayes
Andrew Lawton is a former Broadcaster and Journalist, about which he shares, “I used to work at 980 CFPL in London, broadcasting over the region. From 2018 to 2024, I was working for a national organization called True North, and I also wrote two best-selling books.” Both of these works are journalistic pieces, detailing The Freedom Convoy protest in Ottawa and the response to this; the second being a biography about Conservative leader, Pierre Poilievre, released in May of 2024. Asked about what led to his journey in politics, Andrew responds, “I have always been interested in politics, going back to when I was a teenager. In my media career, I was talking and writing about politics. With the direction that the country was headed in, I was feeling more frustrated and couldn’t see myself watching this election from the sidelines. Instead of just talking about things, I wanted to help bring forward the solutions that the country and the riding need. I decided that it was time to hang up the headphones, and head to the House of Commons.” With the Conservative Party of Canada, Andrew is MP for Elgin—St. Thomas—London South: “One of the big things that I think is really important to our riding is that we have a lot of variety and diversity, both rural and suburban. St. Thomas, for example, has grown and has such a thriving business community. I appreciate that government policy affects everyone differently, and I want to ensure that no one is being left behind.”
