Andrea Horwath



         


Andrea Horwath is a Canadian politician. She is a member of the Ontario New Democratic Party.

A former member of Hamilton, Ontario city council, Horwath was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in a 2004 by-election in the riding of Hamilton East, defeating Liberal candidate Ralph Agostino to succeed the deceased Liberal member Dominic Agostino, Ralph's brother.

Her landslide victory gave the NDP official party status in the legislature and helped give the NDP a bounce in Hamilton that would continue into the federal election shortly thereafter.
