Arthur Reaume

Arthur Reaume

Arthur John Reaume (died December 13 1981) was a Canadian politician.

Reaume was mayor of Windsor, Ontario in the 1940s and early 1950s. He ran as a candidate for the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario in the 1943 election but was defeated by the CCF. He broke with the Conservatives when he supported UAW workers at Ford in their fight for the Rand Formula. [http://www.caw.ca/whoweare/ourhistory/cawhistory/ch5/p2c5_5.html]

In the 1945 and 1948 elections, he ran as a Liberal-Labour candidate, but lost on both attempts. He was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as a Liberal Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) in 1951. He remained in office until the 1967 election.

A pro-labour politician, he ran for the Ontario Liberal leadership in 1958, but won only 32 votes and was eliminated on the first ballot along with Liberal-Labour MPP Albert Wren. Arthur Reaume is also Windsor's longest-serving mayor, at 13 years.
