Garnet Charles "Chuck" Porter (born December 29, 1964) is a Canadian politician. He represented the electoral district of Hants West in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly as a Liberal from 2006 until his retirement from politics in 2021.[1]
Porter was a paramedic for 17 years and also served as a councillor in the town of Windsor, Nova Scotia.
Elected in 2006, Porter was a member of the Progressive Conservatives until June 13, 2014, when he left the party to sit as an independent citing Jamie Baillie's management style as a factor (Baillie said Porter neglected his duties).[2] On February 17, 2016, he joined the Liberal caucus.[3] He was reelected in the 2017 election.[4]
On July 5, 2018, Porter was appointed to the Executive Council of Nova Scotia as Minister of Municipal Affairs.[5]
