Paul Connors is a Canadian politician and business leader who has made a significant impact in Newfoundland and Labrador’s political and economic landscape. A dedicated member of the Liberal Party of Canada, Connors was elected as the Member of Parliament for Avalon in the 2025 Canadian federal election. His journey to public office was shaped by decades of experience in agriculture, municipal governance, and community service.

Born in 1970, Connors grew up on Bell Island before moving to Kelligrews in Conception Bay South in 1970. His upbringing instilled in him a strong commitment to public service, economic development, and community engagement. He pursued higher education at Memorial University of Newfoundland, earning a Bachelor of Commerce, a Diploma in Business Administration, and a Certificate in Business Administration. His academic background provided him with the expertise to navigate complex economic policies and advocate for sustainable growth.

Connors’ career in agriculture has been transformative. He served as the Executive Director of the Newfoundland and Labrador Federation of Agriculture for 14 years, where he championed policies that supported farmers, secured transformative funding, and implemented legislative changes that strengthened the agricultural industry. His leadership in this sector reinforced his reputation as a dedicated advocate for rural development and economic stability.

Beyond agriculture, Connors has been deeply involved in municipal governance. He served two terms as a councillor in Conception Bay South, where he contributed to significant community improvements, including the development of state-of-the-art recreation facilities at the CBS stadium and the recently announced indoor recreation facility at the Gateway. His ability to connect with residents and address their concerns positioned him as a strong advocate for responsible governance.

His commitment to community service extends beyond politics. Connors has coached generations of kids in minor hockey and served as chair of the Sammy’s Climb Higher Foundation and the Conception Bay South ATV Committee. His leadership in these organizations has strengthened local initiatives, fostering a sense of unity and resilience within the community.

Connors’ transition into federal politics was driven by his desire to give Avalon a strong voice in national decision-making. Prior to his election, he worked as Executive Assistant to Avalon MP Ken McDonald, where he observed firsthand the importance of standing up for constituents and ensuring their concerns were heard in Ottawa. His campaign focused on economic development, infrastructure investment, and strengthening support for rural communities.

His tenure in Parliament continues to reflect his dedication to progressive policies, economic resilience, and community advocacy. His vision for Avalon and Canada is one of inclusivity, sustainability, and opportunity, ensuring that future generations can thrive in a country that values hard work, innovation, and responsible leadership.
