Cam Broten Biography
Broten was born in Regina, Saskatchewan and spent his early years in Northern Saskatchewan in La Loche, Green Lake, Meadow Lake and La Ronge before his family settled in Saskatoon where he attended Marion M. Graham Collegiate. His grandfather, Hans Broten, served in the Legislative Assembly in the 1960s under Tommy Douglas and Woodrow Lloyd.
Cameron Paul “Cam” Broten (born April 29, 1978) is a Canadian politician. He represented the constituency of Saskatoon Massey Place in the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan from 2007 to 2016. He was selected as the leader of the Saskatchewan New Democratic Party in the 2013 leadership election on March 9, 2013. Broten announced his resignation as leader on April 11, 2016, several days after losing the seat he contested in the Saskatchewan general election. Trent Wotherspoon was appointed interim party leader in April 2016.
On August 1, 2004 in Swift Current, Saskatchewan, Broten married Ruth Megan Eliason, a music therapist with Palliative Care Services in the Saskatoon Health Region who was raised on a family farm in the Stewart Valley area near Swift Current. His wife decided to keep her maiden name. They live in Saskatoon with their four daughters. Their oldest child, a son was born preterm in 2009 and died the same day.
Broten was first elected to the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan in the 2007 provincial election, and was re-elected in the 2011 provincial election.
On September 5, 2012, Broten announced his intention to run for the leadership of the Saskatchewan New Democratic Party. He was one of four candidates, alongside doctor Ryan Meili, MLA Trent Wotherspoon, who Broten would appoint to be his deputy leader immediately after the leadership election, and Erin Weir although Weir withdrew before the vote. Broten won the leadership on the second ballot.
His popularity and support among the party grew quickly, with Broten receiving strong endorsements in two party constitutionally-required leadership review votes since his election with 98.7 per cent of delegates’ votes on a secret ballot at the party’s convention on May 31, 2014 during the party’s convention in Moose Jaw and on May 23, 2015 he received 98 per cent of delegates’ votes on a secret ballot during the party’s convention in Regina.
Broten resigned as party leader on April 11, 2016. He thus became only the second Saskatchewan CCF/NDP leader since before World War II to have never served as premier.
In the 2016 election Broten ran in Saskatoon Westview, a reconfigured version of his old riding, and lost to Saskatchewan Party candidate David Buckingham by 232 votes.
The NDP under Broten was defeated in the 2016 provincial election in which Brad Wall and the Saskatchewan Party was elected to a third successive majority government. The NDP under Broten won 10 seats, a gain of one seat from the previous election, to the Saskatchewan Party’s 51 seats.
