The Alberta Liberal Party is in the midst of an exciting Leadership Race, to culminate on Saturday, September 10 at a major event in Edmonton. Many members and supporters have communicated that they want to hear more about the people interested in leading the ALP and Alberta’s Official Opposition. Here’s a brief synopsis of the Race as of today.
So far, we have 5 quality individuals who have publicly expressed a desire to lead the Alberta Liberal Party. In alphabetical order, these are:
Laurie Blakeman

5 strong candidates means 5 campaigns registering supporters, selling memberships, engaging Albertans, and building 87 election-ready constituencies. The effect has been very positive, to say the least: our registered supporters now number in the thousands; memberships are up; election readiness meetings are occurring across the province. It’s an exciting time to be an Alberta Liberal.
We encourage you to take a close look at these 5 excellent candidates. Read their materials. Get in touch. Learn about their vision for our party and Alberta. Most of all, ensure your membership is up-to-date or you’re registered as a supporter. You don’t want to miss the opportunity to vote, and have your say in the most open political party in Canada.
And, take advantage of Alberta Liberal Leadership forums. The next is on, Wednesday, June 29th at Thorncliffe Greenview Community Centre as part of the Calgary Leadership Dinner. More opportunities to meet and hear from these candidates are planned. Please stay tuned and get involved.
