Canadian provincial politician
Cindy Lamoureux (born November 13, 1991) is a Canadian provincial politician, who was elected as the Member of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba for the riding of Burrows in the 2016 election.[1]
She defeated NDP incumbent Melanie Wight, who had held the riding since the 2011 election.[2] Elected at age 24, she was the youngest MLA in Manitoba upon her election.[3] She was subsequently elected to represent the Tyndall Park riding in 2019 and 2023. Lamoureux was appointed interim leader of the Manitoba Liberal Party on October 17, 2023 after she was the only Liberal to hold her seat in the 2023 Manitoba general election.
Early life and education
[edit]
Lamoureux is from an active political family in western Canada. She is the daughter of federal Member of Parliament Kevin Lamoureux, and her uncle Darrin Lamoureux previously served as the leader of the Saskatchewan Liberal Party.
Her first job was at Blockbuster. She received her education at the University of Winnipeg.[3]
On April 21, 2017, she announced that she was running to succeed Rana Bokhari as the leader of the Manitoba Liberal Party.[4] Former Manitoba Liberal leader and longtime MLA Jon Gerrard and entrepreneur and teacher Dougald Lamont also contested the leadership. Lamoureux led on the first ballot at the leadership election but lost to Lamont on the second ballot.
She was reelected in the 2019 Manitoba general election, in which she shifted from Burrows to the neighbouring constituency of Tyndall Park. Gerrard and Lamont were the only other two Liberals elected, winning their respective constituencies of River Heights and St. Boniface. In the 2023 Manitoba general election, Lamoureux was reelected, Gerrard and Lamont were defeated, and no other Liberal was elected, leaving Lamoureux the only Liberal member of the legislature.[5]
On October 17, 2023, she was appointed as the interim leader of the Manitoba Liberals and served until Willard Reaves was acclaimed as the new leader on September 29, 2025.[6][7]
On October 20, 2025, she was appointed as the co-Deputy Leader of the party, serving with Jasbir Singh.[8]
