Windsor's history as an industrial centre has given the [[New Democratic Party (Canada)|New Democratic Party (NDP)]] a dedicated voting base. During federal and provincial elections, Windsorites have maintained their local representation in the respective legislatures. The [[Liberal Party of Canada]] also has a solid electoral history in the city. Canada's 21st Prime Minister, [[Paul Martin]], was born in Windsor. His father, [[Paul Martin Sr.]], a federal [[cabinet minister]] in several portfolios through the Liberal governments of the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, was first elected to the House of Commons from a Windsor riding in the 1930s. Martin Sr. practised law in the city and the federal building on Ouellette Avenue is named after him.<ref>{{Cite news |date=29 January 2018 |title=Request for $20M to renovate Paul Martin Building could reintroduce law school option |publisher=[[CBC News]] |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/request-for-20m-to-renovate-paul-martin-building-could-reintroduce-law-school-option-1.4509689 |access-date=22 November 2018 |archive-date=November 13, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181113165917/https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/request-for-20m-to-renovate-paul-martin-building-could-reintroduce-law-school-option-1.4509689 |url-status=live }}</ref> [[Eugene Whelan]] was a Liberal cabinet minister and one-time Liberal party leadership candidate elected from Essex County from the 1960s to the early 1980s, as well as [[Mark MacGuigan]] of Windsor-Walkerville riding, who also served as External Affairs, and later Justice minister in the early 1980s.
