David Brazil (politician)
David Brazil ( ), is a Canadian politician from Newfoundland and Labrador and the Minister of Transportation and Works. He has represented the district of Conception Bay East - Bell Island in the Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly since 2010.
==Political career==
In November 2010, Brazil won the nomination to be the Progressive Conservative Party of Newfoundland and Labrador candidate in a by-election for the electoral district of Conception Bay East - Bell Island defeating five other candidates for the nomination. The by-election was being held to replace the late Dianne Whalen who had died a month earlier.
The by-election was called for December 2, 2010 with two other candidates running for the New Democrats and the Liberals.〔 One week before the by-election, on November 25, Premier Danny Williams announced that he would retire from politics on December 3, 2010. With the announcement that the Premier would be resigning it left many wondering if Brazil, who was initially thought to easily hold on to the seat for the Tories, would be able to win now that the party's popular leader was stepping down. However on December 2, 2010, Brazil defeated both the New Democratic and Liberal Party candidates, winning 66% of the popular vote. The percentage of the vote was consistent with previous by-election wins the PCs had before the announcement that Williams was retiring.
Brazil was re-elected with 55% of the vote in the 2011 election. On July 17, 2014, Brazil was appointed to the Executive Council of Newfoundland and Labrador as Minister of Service NL. When Paul Davis took over as premier in September 2014, he moved Brazil to Minister of Transportation and Works.
