Politics

Mitchell is a businessman from Petites on the southern coast of Newfoundland. Before he was elected to the House of Assembly, he served as the president of the Southwest Coast Development Association.

Mitchell first attempted to run for the Progressive Conservative (PC) nomination in the riding of Burin—St. George's for the 1984 federal election, but he lost the nomination to Joe Price. He successfully ran as the PC candidate in the district of La Poile for the 1985 provincial election, having defeated former provincial Liberal leader Bill Rowe for the nomination. He served in the House of Assembly for just one term before losing to Liberal opponent Bill Ramsay in the 1989 election. Mitchell was again defeated by Ramsay in the subsequent 1993 election.
