Matthew Rowlinson

Hi! My name is Matthew Rowlinson, and I am the NDP’s federal nominee in the riding of London West.

I was born in Montréal and grew up in Québec. I attended a French language primary school and am fluently bilingual. I have lived in London since 2002; my wife Sasha Torres and I share our Wortley Village home with two cats.

I am a professor of English at Western University; my research and teaching are in the field of nineteenth-century British literature, on which I have published two books and many articles.

I am a longtime NDP member and activist: I have worked as a volunteer on every federal and provincial campaign our party has run in London West since I’ve lived here. I have served on the executive of the Riding Association in multiple roles including Federal Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.

I believe that in 2015 Canadians will elect this country’s first NDP government, and I promise to do everything I can to make it happen. Will you join me? You can follow my campaign on my facebook page, and you can reach me by phone at (519) 871-0061, email at [email protected], or my home address, 96 Base Line Rd E, London, ON N6C 2N8.
