Manitoba Liberal Party candidates in the 1990 Manitoba provincial election

The Manitoba Liberal Party won seven out of 57 seats in the 1990 provincial election, making the party the third-largest in the legislature. Some of the party's candidates have their own biography pages; information about others may be found here.

This page also provides information on Liberal Party candidates in by-elections between 1990 and 1995.

Ed Price (Elmwood)

Price was the Liberal candidate in Elmwood for the 1988 and 1990 elections. Elections Manitoba also indicates that the Liberal candidate for Rupertsland in 1986 was named Ed Price, and it is assumed that this is the same person.

Elections Canada indicates that an "Edward G. Price" campaigned as an independent candidate in the 1984 federal election in Winnipeg—Birds Hill, which overlaps with Elmwood. For purposes of convenience, it is assumed that this is also the same person. It is not clear why Price stood against the official Liberal candidate.

He received 1,623 votes (18.47%) in 1990, finishing third.

Errol Lewis (Point Douglas)

Lewis (died October 28, 1998) was a Black Canadian politician and activist in Manitoba, Canada.

Lewis served as President of the Manitoba Association of Rights and Liberties during the 1980s, and later worked with the Canadian Grain Commission as the assistant commissioner for Manitoba.

He finished second against George Hickes of the NDP in the 1990 election, losing by over 1,000 votes.

Helen Christoffersen (by-election, Portage la Prairie, 15 September 1992)

Christoffersen had been a teacher for 26 years before contesting the by-election. She declined to give her age Vancouver Sun, 1 September 1992). She received 1,995 votes (31.88%), finishing second against Progressive Conservative candidate Brian Pallister.

Christoffersen has been involved in environmental issues in the years since 1990. In a 2000 Maclean's survey, she defended the private use of lawn chemicals by homeowners while criticizing the indiscriminate use of such chemicals by cities and large corporations.[1] In 2002, she participated in a report by the Manitoba Clean Environment Commission.

In 1996, it was reported that Christoffersen was working as a teacher for a Hutterite community near Portage la Prairie (Winnipeg Free Press, 24 May 1996). She is still a resident of Portage la Prairie as of 2005.[2]
