  • Caroline "Carol" Simpson (nee Gray) was born October 14th, 1938 to Al and Sue-Ann Gray in Nanaimo British Columbia. Her family was long active in the Social Credit Party of BC, with her father running un-successfully for the party in the 1952 election. Caroline remained active as a member of the Social Credit Party of BC until she left the province. In 1959, Caroline met Ronald Simpson, a lawyer from Edmonton who she married in November of that year. She moved to Edmonton with her new husband and spent many years working in her husband's law office as a secretary part-time, while tending to the couple's three children: Davis (b. 1960), Sarah (b. 1962), and Charlie (b. 1963). Both Caroline and Ronald were active in the federal Progressive Conservative Party, assisting campaigns in Edmonton and the surrounding area. When Prime Minister Mulroney brought forward the Meech Lake accord, Caroline resigned from the PC Party and joined the upstart Reform party, serving as an organizer in the riding of Beaver River. Active in her church, Caroline has been the Chair of the Women's Auxillary since 1960. Strongly pro-life, Caroline has also organized several anti-abortion marches in Alberta and protests on Parliament Hill. Caroline's oldest son, Davis, joined the Canadian Armed Forces in 1982 and because of this, Caroline is very much in favour of increased military funding and support for military families. Mrs. Simpson is strongly in favour of extensive reform to Canada's parliamentary system, including more free votes, recall elections, and a triple-E Senate. She also also advocates a reduction in immigration levels and a retreat from official bilingualism. After the death of the elected PC Member of Parliament in 1988, Caroline was persuaded by her colleagues to run for the Reform Party nomination in the riding of Beaver River. She was successful in capturing the nomination and was elected to the House of Commons in a 1989 by-election as the first ever Reform MP. Caroline maintains regular contact with her constituents, returning every weekend to the riding to have Open Office drop-ins.
