Robert Brisco

Robert Brisco

Robert Hylton Brisco (29 December 1928-4 January 2004) was a Progressive Conservative party member of the Canadian House of Commons. Brisco was born in Victoria, British Columbia and became a chiropractor by career.

He first attempted to enter national politics at the Kootenay West electoral district in the 1972 federal election, but was defeated. His next attempt was successful, winning the riding in the 1974 federal election, then winning re-election in the 1979. He lost the seat in the 1980 federal election to Lyle Kristiansen of the New Democratic Party, but regained the seat in the 1984 elections.

Brisco's seat became Kootenay West—Revelstoke before the 1988 federal election in which he lost again to Kristiansen. Brisco served in the 30th, 31st and 33rd Canadian Parliaments. He did not contest another national election after his 1988 defeat.
