About Greg Hargrove

  • Gregory James Hargrove (born March 4, 1959) is a former politician in New Brunswick, Canada.
  • He led the New Brunswick Confederation of Regions Party from 1995-1999. Born in Fredericton, New Brunswick in 1959, he was elected to the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick in the 1991 election along with seven other members of CoR.
  • He defeated incumbent Liberal Robert Simpson in the riding of York North, who had been elected as the first Liberal in the riding since 1953, in the 1987 Liberal sweep.
  • The CoR party went through numerous leadership disputes, and Hargrove eventually became the leader in July 1995 shortly before that year's election.
  • He was defeated in his bid for re-election in the riding of Mactaquac, placing a strong third place. The CoR party failed to win any seats in the legislature in the 1995 election.
  • Hargrove attempted to re-enter the House in a 1997 by-election in Tantramar, but finished a distant fourth of four candidates, getting only 2.5% of the vote, compared to 10% for the CoR candidate two years earlier. He continued to the lead the party until after the writs were dropped for the 1999 election, but declined to contest a seat and resigned the leadership.
