Timeline

1963

Chris Charlton (born July 4, 1963) is a German-born, retired Canadian politician from the City of Hamilton, Ontario.

1975

Charlton was born in Dortmund, Germany and immigrated to Canada with her parents in 1975.

She attended the University of Western Ontario for undergraduate studies and then McMaster University to pursue a master's degree in Political Science.

During this time, she became active with the New Democratic Youth club on campus.

1992

Soon after, Bob Rae and the New Democrats came to power in Ontario, and Charlton received a job as a political advisor with the government, where her husband, Brian Charlton (whom she married in 1992), was a cabinet minister.

1995

The Progressive Conservatives defeated Rae's government in the 1995 provincial election.

1997

At the time the Hamilton Mountain New Democrats held their nomination meeting to declare a candidate to run against Beth Phinney in 1997, Charlton had become a Teaching Assistant at U of T and had nearly completed her studies.

Though only 33 at the time, she had already served as an advisor to Bob Rae's government, and went unopposed in the nomination.

On election night, she placed 4th out of 6 candidates, which would be the lowest she would ever poll in an election campaign.

1999

Over the course of the next 9 years, she would run in the 1999 provincial election and the 2003 provincial election, the Hamilton municipal election of 2000 and two federal elections in 1997 and 2004.

2006

As a New Democrat, she served as the member of Parliament for Hamilton Mountain from 2006 until 2015.

Just prior to the 2006 election, she was the Director of Community Relations with Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Canada, but resigned her position to stand again, this time against Ward 7 Councillor Bill Kelly, who she attempted to unseat in the Hamilton municipal election of 2000.

Charlton won that race by a 6-point margin, and retook the riding for the New Democrats after 17 years of Liberal representation.

Despite an aggressive internet campaign on behalf of the Liberals, the race became a New Democrat-Conservative match, which saw Charlton increase voter support despite a lower voter turnout than in 2006.

2008

In 2008, Charlton faced another former Ward 7 councillor, Terry Anderson of the Conservatives and local lawyer Tyler Banham of the Liberals.

2009

In the 2009 Ontario New Democratic Leadership race, Charlton officially endorsed Andrea Horwath for leader, who would win the position on the third ballot.

Charlton announce on December 5, 2014 that she was not going to run for re-election in the next federal election in a year's time, after almost a decade in parliament and 25 years in politics.
