Percy Paul Mockler (born April 14, 1949 in St. Leonard, New Brunswick) is a Canadian Senator and former New Brunswick MLA.
He studied at the University of Moncton where he earned a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Sociology and a Master of Business Administration degree. A member of the Progressive Conservative Party, was first elected to the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick in the 1982 election.
After his election defeat in 1987, Mockler worked as an organizer for the federal Progressive Conservatives in the 1988 federal election and worked for the Brian Mulroney administration in Ottawa until its dying days in 1993.
Upon his return to New Brunswick, Mockler was able to run again to be a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) as Pierrette Ringuette-Maltais, the Liberal who had defeated him in 1987, had been elected to the Canadian House of Commons and a by-election was being held to replace her. Mockler was re-elected handily on November 29, 1993 and again in 1995, 1999, 2003 and 2006. In 2006, after the establishment of new electoral boundaries in New Brunswick, Mockler defeated soundly Liberal incumbent, Bert Paulin.
