It is hard to believe but the next provincial election will be upon us very soon.  I believe strongly that this upcoming election is a critical one as we consider Alberta’s future.  The significant pressures coming from the discounted price we get for Alberta’s resources have become extremely pronounced.  All parties vying for your support will undoubtedly put forward policies and initiatives to deal with this circumstance. We believe strongly that the voter is never wrong, and trust the collective wisdom of Albertans to select both their individual MLAs but also to determine the makeup of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta.

I encourage you, regardless of political stripe, regardless of whether the UCP is a party you are considering supporting or not, to take the upcoming election as an opportunity to get involved.  Seek out your local constituency association and become familiar and involved in what is going on in your community. If a particular candidate or party speaks to you, I believe they would value your time and insight both prior to and during the campaign period.  I know our team and our party certainly would value your time and insight. Being politically involved offers everyone the chance to shape our province and become more familiar with the workings of our government.

If getting politically involved is something that suits you, please feel free to get in touch and I would be happy to connect you.

As we begin to enter the holiday season, I want to take a moment to wish all my constituents
and their families a very happy holiday! Whether you are celebrating Christmas, Hanukkah, or
any other holiday, (or simply taking a few days rest) our winter traditions are one of the things
that binds families and communities together.

It is also a time of reflection as 2018 leaves us. 2018 was a busy year for Alberta and particular
for provincial politics, with a great deal of progress made within the United Conservative Party
and our opposition team. We look forward to 2019 which will offer us the chance to bring our
alternative proposal about restoring the Alberta Advantage in the upcoming provincial election.

No matter how you celebrate during the holidays, I hope you will take the time to embrace the
winter season with friends and family. Be sure to go out and enjoy the winter wonderland
around us (weather permitting, of course). Many communities have family skating times, or
other holiday events which offer great opportunities for the kids to socialize, and for the adults
to take a moment’s break.

In closing, please allow me to wish you a very happy holiday, much joy with your families and all
the best for the new year ahead.
