Hugh Moran

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hugh Moran is a Manitoba businessman and politician. In 1980, he unsuccessfully ran for the leadership of the Manitoba Liberal Party.

Moran ran as a Liberal candidate in Portage La Prairie in the provincial election of 1977, but finished behind his Progressive Conservative and New Democratic opponents.

At the Manitoba Liberal leadership convention held on November 30, 1980, Moran was defeated by United Church minister Doug Lauchlan by 493 votes to 400. Moran, who was thirty years old at the time, had campaigned on a platform of asserting Manitoba's position on issues involving the Federal Government and greater cooperation between labour, business and government.

He again finished third in Portage La Prairie in the election of 1981.

Moran is president of BPR Communications which provides professional management services and strategic communications counsel to public and provare sector clients.
