Lewis Draper

Lewis Draper is a family physician, who was a Canadian provincial politician. He was the NDP member of the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan for the constituency of Assiniboia-Gravelbourg, from 1991 until 1995.[1] He defeated PC incumbent John Thomas Wolfe in the 1991 general election, and represented the riding for one term. The Assiniboia-Gravelbourg riding was dissolved before the next general election, so Draper ran for the riding of Thunder Creek, but lost to Liberal Gerard Aldridge.

Outside politics Lewis Draper was a practicing medical doctor. The NDP government of which he was a part was involved in the closure of a large number of rural hospitals, which was a cause of conflict between him and his party.

He is still a practicing medical doctor, working part-time at a clinic in Regina.
