Larry McCormick (Canadian politician)

Larry McCormick (January 4, 1940 – May 3, 2011)[1][2] was a Canadian politician. He was born in Enterprise, Ontario.

McCormick was a member of the Liberal Party of Canada in the House of Commons of Canada, representing the riding Hastings—Frontenac—Lennox and Addington from 1993 to 2004. Benefiting from vote-splitting between the Progressive Conservatives and Reform, he was the first Liberal to represent much of this area in 58 years. McCormick was Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food.

McCormick's seat was merged with parts of the former riding of Lanark—Carleton, forcing him into a contest with that riding's Conservative incumbent, Scott Reid in the 2004 election. With the end of vote-splitting on the right, Reid won the seat by over 10,000 votes.

Before serving in Ottawa, McCormick owned and operated McCormick's Country Store on County Road 4 in Camden East. He was married to wife Reta and had one child, a daughter, Kayla.
