Mark Everett Peck (born 16 July 1953) is a New Zealand politician. He is a member of the Labour Party. He was MP for Invercargill from 1993, when he first won the seat in the 1993 elections until 2005 when he announced he would not stand for re-election at the 2005 Parliamentary elections.

Early life

Peck was born in the town of Hamilton, Ohio. His father, Reverend Robert Logan Peck, an Anglican priest, Journalist and Politician in his own right, stimulated Mark's interest in politics at an early age, leading him to seek positions in the Labour influenced trade unions.

Political career

This exposure along with his involvement with the Labour Party eventually led to Mark winning the National dominated electorate of Invercargill. He held this seat until retiring from Parliament twelve years later in 2005.

Since retiring from politics, he has been a director of the anti-smoking organisation Smokefree Coalition.[1]
