The son of Robert Anderson and Lillian Marie Kraushar, he was born in St. Boniface, was educated at the University of Manitoba and worked as a farmer. He served as a councillor in the municipality of Springfield, Manitoba, located east of Winnipeg, from 1968 to 1972. In 1966, he married Jean Edith Shelfontuk.[2]
He was elected to the Manitoba legislature in the provincial election of 1977, defeating incumbent New DemocratRene Toupin[1] by almost 2,000 votes in the riding of Springfield.[3] The Tories won this election, and Anderson served as a backbench supporter of Sterling Lyon's government for the next four years.
