St. Albert resident Dale Nally has been chosen by local United Conservative Party members to be their candidate in the next provincial election.
UCP Leader Jason Kenney issued a statement around 9 p.m. Wednesday night after Nally’s victory.
“Over the last two days more than 630 United Conservative members in Morinville-St. Albert cast ballots for their preferred candidate for the next election from amongst four great contestants,” Kenney said in a media release, adding his personal congratulations to Nally on winning what he called a competitive race.
“Dale has spent the last 15 years in St. Albert where he and his wife Randa have raised three children. Dale holds a Masters Degree from Athabasca University and understands the issues most important to the constituents of Morinville-St. Albert. He is a valuable addition to the United Conservative team as we work to present Albertans with a common-sense alternative to the NDP. I am pleased to welcome Dale as the United Conservative candidate in Morinville-St. Albert.”
Kenney thanked candidates Joe Gosselin, Donald Rigney, Trina Jones, and their teams for running.
A fifth candidate, Gibbons Councillor Amber Harris withdrew from the race this past weekend.
Congrats on your new position and gladly hear our new UCP voice here.
Congratulations!
