Jacob Froese

He was educated in the local school system and worked as a farmer, also becoming a leading figure in the Winkler Credit Union Society.

[2] Froese was elected to the Manitoba legislature for the riding of Rhineland in a November 1959 by-election,[1] defeating a Progressive Conservative candidate by 91 votes.

[1] The Social Credit Party of Manitoba was largely moribund in this period, and it never came close to electing a second MLA during Froese's time in the legislature.

Froese was defeated by Progressive Conservative candidate Arnold Brown in the 1973 election,[1] and finished a poor fourth in a bid for re-election four years later.

He ran as a federal Social Credit candidate in Lisgar in the 1974 Canadian election, but finished fourth in this race as well.
