Bob Lagassé is a Canadian provincial politician, who was elected as the Member of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba for the riding of Dawson Trail in the 2016 election.[2] He is a member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Manitoba.
At his constituency's nomination meeting in 2015, Lagassé pulled off a surprise upset victory by defeating three high-profile candidates, including former Association of Manitoba Municipalities president Doug Dobrowoski, to earn the nomination in the constituency. Lagassé is known for his sleeve-length tattoo and earrings, which is considered unique for the fact the riding of Dawson Trail is known for a strong conservative demographic.[3] Lagassé is of French and Métis origin.
He was re-elected in the 2019 and 2023 provincial elections.
