Danny Dumaresque

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Danny Dumaresque is a Canadian politician. He represented the riding of Eagle River in the Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly from 1989 to 1996 as a member of the Liberal Party.

In the 1996 election, Dumaresque defeated Yvonne Jones for the Liberal nomination in the redistricted riding of Cartwright-L'Anse au Clair. Jones ran as an independent candidate, however, and defeated Dumaresque in the general election. She later joined the Liberal caucus.

Dumaresque later served as president of the provincial Liberal Party until 2007, when he was succeeded in that post by Tom Lush. He also stood as the Liberal candidate in Torngat Mountains in the 2007 election, but lost to Patty Pottle.
