Political career

Municipal

In the 1983 Winnipeg municipal elections, Rose was elected as a school trustee in the St. Vital school division at his first attempt. He served one three-year term. In the 1986 Winnipeg municipal election, he was elected to Winnipeg City Council, for the St. Vital ward of Glenlawn, defeating Al Ducharme, who had represented the ward since 1977. [1]

Provincial

The New Democratic Party government of Manitoba, led by Howard Pawley, fell in 1988 when NDP backbencher Jim Walding—the Member of the Legislative Assembly for St. Vital—took the unprecedented step of voting against his own government's budget. Rose ran in the 1988 provincial election in St. Vital and defeated his closest competitor, Progressive Conservative candidate Paul Herriot, by 817 votes; Walding did not stand. [2] [3] The Liberals increased their legislative strength from one to twenty in this election, and Rose sat as a member of the official opposition for the next two years. In the election of 1990, he lost by 118 votes to Tory Shirley Render [2] [3] amid a general decline in support for his party. He has not sought a return to political life since this time.
