Alberta Liberal candidates welcomed to the Alberta Legislature

On June 14, 2007, Alberta Liberal Leader Kevin Taft welcomed Calgary-Elbow MLA-Elect Craig Cheffins, Drumheller-Stettler by-election candidate Tom Dooley, and ten Alberta Liberal candidates to the Alberta Legislature.

“This is a very exciting day for me and for all members of the Alberta Liberal caucus because I rise today to introduce to you and to all members of this Assembly a new colleague, the MLA-elect for Calgary-Elbow for the Alberta Liberals, Mr. Craig Cheffins,” said Taft on the floor of the Alberta Legislature.

“Joining Craig is his wife, who worked so hard on the campaign, Jocelyn Barton-Cheffins, and their son Sam Cheffins. Please give them a warm reception. Thank you,” said Taft.

“Joining them are a number of other candidates, in particular the candidate who worked so hard for us in Drumheller-Stettler without success – and we all know that can happen – Mr. Tom Dooley, who is here with his wife, Dani. They worked incredibly hard. Win or lose, we all know how much participation is needed in the democratic process. Thank you so much,” concluded Taft.
