Shawn Graham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Graham, the son of Alan Graham who was the longest serving member of the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick from 1967 - 1998, was elected to replace his retiring father in a by-election in 1998. |
 | | Graham's upward momentum continued when, in an opinion poll released on December 9, 2004, the Liberals expanded their lead over the Conservatives to 46% to 36%, but also, for the first time since Graham became leader, he was the preferred choice of New Brunswickers for premier beating the incumbent Bernard Lord 34% to 27%. |
 | | Graham defended their absence arguing that, because New Democratic Party leader Elizabeth Weir was also absent, it was impossible to defeat the government, and he did not see the need to whip his members. |
