Template:Infobox musical artist

Andrew Cash (born January 22, 1962) is a Canadian singer-songwriter and former politician who was the member of Parliament (MP) for the Toronto-area riding of Davenport from 2011 to 2015. A member of the New Democratic Party (NDP), Cash grew up in Toronto where he and Charlie Angus founded the Toronto punk band L'Étranger.<ref name="Band bio">Template:Cite news</ref> In the late 1990s he wrote for the Toronto weekly Now.

Music careerEdit

When L'Étranger broke up in 1986,<ref name="Band bio"/> Cash signed to Island Records as a solo artist.<ref>"Cash among new pop generation sure enough to face its insecurities". Toronto Star, June 30, 1989.</ref> His first release on the label was a reissue of L'Étranger's last recording, Sticks and Stones. He released three albums as a solo artist, including Boomtown, which appeared on the RPM 100 Top Albums chart in 1989.<ref>"RPM Top 100 Albums". RPM Magazine Volume 50, No. October 24, 14, 1989.</ref> He had a number of hits, including "Time and Place", "Boomtown", "What Am I Gonna Do with These Hands", "Smile Me Down" and "A Lot of Talk". In 1993, his album Hi was recorded at Metalworks Studios in Mississauga, Ontario.

He then formed the band Ursula, who released the album Happy to Be Outraged in 1995. However, that band was not successful, and broke up after just the one album.<ref name="Band bio"/>

Around the same time as Ursula's demise, however, his brother Peter Cash also decided to leave his band, Skydiggers.<ref name="Band bio"/> Both available at the same time for the first time in their careers, Andrew and Peter decided to write and record together, and released their debut album as The Cash Brothers, Raceway, in 1999.

Since 1999 Cash provided the soundtrack music for various television shows, mostly Canadian. He also wrote for the Toronto-based Now magazine.<ref name="Band bio"/> In 2000 he collaborated with Hawksley Workman and Jason Collett on Chrome Reflection, an album credited to Bird. In 2007 Cash released his latest solo album Murder=.

Political careerEdit

On October 5, 2009, Cash was nominated as the New Democratic Party's candidate for the Toronto-area Davenport electoral district, in preparation for the 41st Canadian general election.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> At the time, the House of Commons was controlled by a Conservative minority government, led by Prime Minister Stephen Harper, that could fall at any time; in this unpredictable election situation Cash was a candidate for over a year and half.

When the election was called, on March 26, 2011, his main campaign issue was that Davenport's incumbent MP, Mario Silva, was not a "full-time" MP.<ref name="first campaign">Template:Cite news</ref> Cash campaigned with two main slogans, "Cash for Toronto" and "Trade your Silva for Cash",<ref name="first campaign"/> with a focus on "issues of precarious employment, especially with regards to freelancers and people who are working serial contracts."<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Near the end of April, both The Toronto Star and The Globe and Mail newspapers started to predict that Cash might win, ending 49 years of continuous Liberal representation for that electoral district.<ref name="first campaign"/><ref name="G&M Close Race">Template:Cite news</ref> The election campaign concluded on May 2, with the Conservatives gaining enough seats to win a majority government and the NDP enough seats to become Official Opposition. In Davenport, Cash defeated Silva, becoming a caucus colleague of his former bandmate Charlie Angus, who has been the MP for Timmins-James Bay since 2004.<ref name="Band bio"/><ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

Cash lost his seat in the general election held October 19, 2015, one of many New Democrats who were swept away when the Liberal Party came from third place to form a majority government; Liberal Julie Dzerowicz succeeded him as MP for Davenport. In the 2019 federal election, he attempted to win his seat back, coming second to Dzerowicz.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
