Biography

Garon Ripley was born in Givan. After finishing his primary and secondary education in Givan, Ripley studied medicine at the University of Cuanstad, where he specialised in dentistry. He would graduate in 1999, and moved to Leeth in 2002, where he opened a dental practice.

In 2010, Garon Ripley joined the Movement for a New Imagua, being attracted to the party's "respect of traditional values," and becoming active in politics: he ran for Saint Christopher's as MNI candidate in 2012, but placed third, only garnering 8% of the vote behind the Sotirian Labour and Democratic Labour candidates. In 2016, he was elected to serve as the county councillor for Leeth, defeating incumbent councillor Joseph Handmer of the Farmer's Party with 48% of the vote to Handmer's 32% of the vote. He would subsequently be re-elected to the County Council in 2020 with 61% of the vote.
