Ralph Wiseman is a Canadian politician. He was a Liberal Party member of the Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly from 1996 to 2003, representing the electoral district of Topsail.[1]
In the 2005 municipal elections, he was elected mayor of the town of Paradise, Newfoundland and Labrador. In the subsequent 2009 municipal elections, he was re-elected to a second term as mayor in a draw, after a series of recounts confirmed that he and challenger Kurtis Coombs had finished in an exact tie.[2]
Wiseman elected not to run in the municipal election held in September 2013.[3] He was succeeded as mayor by Dan Bobbett, a former town councillor.[4]
