Michael D. Harris[1] (born May 10, 1979) is a politician in Ontario, Canada. He is a regional councillor for the Regional Municipality of Waterloo, and is a former member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario who represented the riding of Kitchener—Conestoga from 2011 to 2018. He sat as a member of the Progressive Conservative caucus until April 9, 2018 and as an Independent for his last months in office.[2] On October 22, 2018, Harris was elected to Waterloo Regional Council.

Background

Harris was raised on a farm near Mount Forest, Ontario.[3] He worked in the sales department at Honeywell in Waterloo before being elected as MPP for Kitchener—Conestoga in 2011. He now lives in Kitchener with his family.[4]

On October 22, 2017, Harris graduated from the University of Guelph with a Master of Arts.[5]

Provincial Politics

In the 2007 provincial election, Harris ran as the Progressive Conservative candidate in the riding of Kitchener—Conestoga. He was defeated by Liberal Leeanna Pendergast by about 1,500 votes.[6] In the 2011 provincial election he ran against Pendergast again, this time defeating her by 3,700 votes.[4][7][8] He was re-elected in the 2014 provincial election defeating Liberal candidate Wayne Wright by 1,794 votes.[9]

Harris previously served as the PC critic of Transportation and Innovation until Doug Ford became leader.[11] In addition, Harris was seen as the best fundraiser within the party, before his removal from caucus.[11]

On Saturday, April 7, Harris announced he would not be seeking re-election due to health issues.[10][11] On Monday, April 9, Harris' wife, Sarah Harris, announced she would be seeking the nomination in his place.[2]

Shortly following his wife's announcement, Harris was removed from caucus and it was announced that he was removed as a PC candidate on April 6 due to sexual misconduct allegations that occurred in 2012. It occurred before he was married.[2][11] On May 1, 2018, it was reported that MPP Toby Barrett disputed claims by PC leader Doug Ford Jr. that the PC nomination committee unanimously removed Harris as a PC candidate.[12] On May 16, 2018, The Waterloo Region Record released the texts between Harris and the intern. His wife believed that the reaction to these text were over blown.[13]

Harris is not related to Mike Harris Jr., the son of former Ontario premier Mike Harris,[14] who succeeded him as the PC candidate for the Kitchener—Conestoga riding and won election on June 7, 2018.[15]

Municipal Politics

On July 24, 2018, it was reported that Harris announced his candidacy for Waterloo Regional Council.[16] He was elected on October 22, 2018.[17]
