Alberta Party President Sue Timanson sees great opportunity in Cundal’s nomination. “I am very proud of Kerry’s nomination and her desire to stand for election as an Alberta Party candidate.

She is fighting for prosperity and opportunity for everyone and is the perfect person to represent for Calgary-Elbow. The board of the Alberta Party, through our Talent Acquisition Committee, is working hard to recruit top-notch candidates, like Kerry. We are excited by the caliber of people stepping forward to join us.”

Kerry and her Calgary-Elbow campaign team are launching her campaign at 3:00pm on May 29^th at the Marda Loop Community Hall (3130 16St SW, Calgary).

I look forward to the opportunity to represent my community of Calgary-Elbow in the Legislature on the important issues for Albertans that have been neglected for far too long by current and past governments.”
