Well that's interesting!
Progressive Conservative MLA for River Heights from 1962 to 1966, Steinkopf was the first Jewish minister in the Manitoba cabinet. He served only one term but ran for election twice: the second time was due to his resignation in 1964 over a controversial land transaction, but he was re-elected in a by-election in September.
