Jim Parrott is a Canadian politician, who was elected to the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick in the 2010 provincial election, representing the electoral district of Fundy-River Valley. Parrott is a retired heart surgeon.
Originally elected as a member of the Progressive Conservatives,[1] Parrott was later removed from caucus by David Alward after criticizing the government's health care and bilingualism policies.[2] He sat as an independent MLA for most his time in office.
On March 19, 2014, Parrott announced that he would seek the Progressive Conservative nomination in the new riding of Kings Centre for the 2014 election.[3] He ultimately ran in the riding of Fundy-The Isles-Saint John West, losing to incumbent MLA Rick Doucet.
