Norman Hartley Campbell,[1] the brother of Archibald Campbell,[2] had unsuccessfully contested the Chalmers electorate in the 1928 and 1931 elections.[3][4] His brother had already won the nomination as the Labour candidate for the 1935 election against M. Connolly, when he died in February 1935 following an operation.[2][5] The Labour Party hierarchy wanted to make Connolly their candidate, but there was resentment and a new ballot was held, which was won by Archibald Campbell.[2] He was elected for the Chalmers electorate with the swing to Labour in the 1935 election, but retired in 1938.[6]

He served on the Legislative Council from 1939 to 1946 and from 1947 to 1950, when the upper house was abolished.[7]
