Sherry Gambin-Walsh


Sherry Gambin-Walsh is a Canadian politician, who was elected to the Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly in the 2015 provincial election. She represents the electoral district of Placentia-St. Mary's as a member of the Liberal Party. Following the 2015 election, she served as Minister of Children, Seniors and Social Development until moving to Service NL in a 2017 cabinet shuffle.
In April 2018, Gambin-Walsh confirmed she was one of the MHAs who filed a complaint against Cabinet Minister Eddie Joyce accusing him of bullying and harassment. Joyce was subsequently removed from Cabinet and the Liberal caucus. Other allegations of bullying and harassment followed Gambin-Walsh's and the issue turned into a major political scandal.
She was re-elected in the 2019 provincial election. On April 4, 2020, Gambin-Walsh was removed from cabinet as the RCMP launched a criminal investigation into allegations that she leaked cabinet documents.
She has two children, one of whom is developmentally delayed.
