Lloyd Longfield
Lloyd Longfield  (born October 8, 1956) is a Canadian Liberal politician, who was elected to represent the riding of Guelph in the House of Commons of Canada in the 2015 federal election. The riding was previously held by Liberal MP Frank Valeriote who had opted not to run for re-election.

Early life
A native of Winnipeg, he moved to Guelph in 1992. Longfield has a BA in English and Mathematics from the University of Manitoba and a diploma in Mechanical Engineering from Red River College. Prior to running for federal office, Longfield was the president of the Guelph Chamber of Commerce for "about" eight years.

Political career
Longfield was successful in retaining the Guelph seat in the House of Commons for the Liberals in 2015 by an overwhelming margin, with nearly 50 percent of the popular vote or over 15,000 votes ahead of the Conservative candidate Gloria Kovach.

After being elected, Longfield promised to vote to increase funding to the CBC and to stop the phase-out of door-to-door mail delivery. The latter was a part of the Liberal platform as described by Justin Trudeau in a September 25, 2015 letter: "we will also stop the Harper Conservatives' plan to end door-to-door mail delivery and ensure Canadians receive the postal service on which they rely."

He was re-elected in the 2019 federal election. On 28 June 2023, Longfield announced that he would finish his term, but would not run in the 45th Canadian federal election.

Personal life
Longfield and his wife, Barbara, have three daughters and four grandchildren.
