Horace Edgar Herring

Horace Edgar Herring

Horace Edgar Herring (1884 - 1962) was a New Zealand Member of Parliament for Mid-Canterbury.

Member of Parliament

Horace Herring represented the Mid-Canterbury electorate between 1935 and 1938 (Wood, p.92 & Wilson, p.205).

He was a supporter of John A. Lee and stood as a Democratic Labour Party candidate at the Christchurch East by-election in 1943 which was won by Mabel Howard. Horace Herring received a very creditable 2,578 votes, 26.7% of the total cast (Taylor, p.165). Ormond Wilson, a Labour MP, described Herring as "a character only Dickens could have invented" (Wilson, p.72. See also Logan, p.50 for a description of his Maiden Speech in Parliament).

Herring was awarded the Coronation Medal in 1937 for services to New Zealand.

He was Mayor of Levin from 1953 to 1956.
