Gerald Joseph O'Malley (born November 25, 1927) is a Canadian politician. He represented the electoral district of Halifax Needham in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly from 1988 to 1998, as a member of the Liberals.[1][2]
O'Malley was born in Halifax in 1927. A graduate of Saint Mary's University, O'Malley was an educator, serving as principal at the Nova Scotia Community College, Akerley.[3] He also served in the Royal Canadian Air Force, retiring in 1967.[4] In 1980, O'Malley was elected to Halifax City Council, where he served as Deputy Mayor in 1984.[3]
O'Malley entered provincial politics in the 1988 election, defeating New Democrat Maureen MacDonald by 776 votes in the Halifax Needham riding.[5] He was re-elected in the 1993 election, defeating his New Democrat opponent by 972 votes.[6] He served as a backbench member of John Savage's government until March 1995, when he was appointed to the Executive Council of Nova Scotia as Minister of Supply and Services.[7] In March 1996, O'Malley was shuffled to Minister of Science and Technology.[8][9] When Russell MacLellan was sworn-in as premier in July 1997, O'Malley was moved to Minister of Labour.[10][11] Despite indications he might retire, O'Malley ran for re-election in 1998,[12] but was defeated by New Democrat Maureen MacDonald by over 2,300 votes.[13][14]
