Theodore Calvin Arnott (born April 8, 1963 in Fergus, Ontario[1]) is a Progressive Conservative member of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario representing the district of Wellington—Halton Hills.[2]
The son of Warren Arnott and Jessie Hawkins, Arnott received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Wilfrid Laurier University in 1985 and a diploma in business administration from the same institution in 1986. In 1990, he married Lisa M. McCabe.[1]
Arnott succeeded popular MPP Jack Johnson when he was first elected to the legislature in the election of 1990, defeating New Democrat Dale Hamilton by about 1,300 votes. He was re-elected with a much greater majority in the 1995 election, in which the Progressive Conservatives formed a majority government.
During the 1995 campaign, Arnott was the only Progressive Conservative candidate who refused to sign an election pledge not to increase taxes without a provincial referendum.
He was again re-elected with a large majority in the election of 1999, and was returned again in 2003 and 2007.[2]
Mr. Arnott is running again as a candidate in the Ontario general election, 2011[3]
Arnott describes himself as a "moderate conservative", and endorsed John Tory's bid for the party leadership in 2004.
