David Rodger Mitchell (March 26, 1898 – January 4, 1967) was a Canadian politician, who represented the riding of Sudbury in the House of Commons of Canada from 1953 until his death in 1967.[1] He was a member of the Liberal Party.
Mitchell was born in Owen Sound, Ontario. Before entering politics, he was a pharmacist in Sudbury,[2] and served a stint as president of the Northern Ontario Hockey Association.[3]
The by-election following Mitchell's death of pulmonary fibrosis was held on May 29.[4] Jim Jerome ran as the new Liberal candidate, but lost to New Democrat Bud Germa.[5] However, Germa served the riding for just barely more than a year—in the national election the following year, Jerome defeated Germa.[1]
