Luke Randall is a Canadian politician, who was elected to the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick in the 2024 New Brunswick general election.[1] He represents the electoral district of Fredericton North as a member of the New Brunswick Liberal Association.
Prior to his election to the legislature, Randall and his husband Tyler were co-owners of Endeavours and ThinkPlay, an art and gaming supply store in downtown Fredericton.[2] He previously ran as a Green Party candidate for the same district in the 2020 New Brunswick general election,[3] switching to the Liberals in 2024 due to his support of Liberal leader Susan Holt.
He is the province's first out gay member of the Legislative Assembly, as Richard Hatfield was not out during his political career.
On November 1, 2024, it was announced that he was placed on the cabinet as Minister responsible for Opportunities NB, Minister responsible for Economic Development and Small Business, and Minister responsible for NB Liquor and Cannabis NB.[4]
