David Karwacki

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Karwacki , (born May 30, 1965, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan), a Canadian politician, was elected Leader of Saskatchewan Liberals in October 2001. He ran in the riding of Saskatoon-Meewasin in the 2003 provincial election, finishing second to now-provincial Justice Minister Frank Quennell.

Karwacki ran in the 2006 byelection for the constituency of Weyburn-Big Muddy and placed a distant second to Saskatchewan Party candidate Dustin Duncan. In 2003, the candidate in Weyburn-Big Muddy captured about 14% of the vote and in the June 19, 2006 by-election, Karwacki received about 27% of the vote. Many argue the increase in support came because Karwacki was a party leader, unlike the candidate in 2003.

He will be addressing this year's Liberal leadership convention in Montreal on the topic of Liberalism in Western Canada. [1]
