Lac La Biche-St. Paul

Alex Broadbent

“I believe in open, accountable and fiscally responsible government, a big change from the current backroom politics that Alberta has suffered for long enough. We also need to look after our agricultural producers, and I will provide the voice farmers need.” – Alex Broadbent
