Alberta’s New Democrats have officially picked Kevin McLean to be the party’s candidate in Grande Prairie for the May 29 provincial election.

The party said this in a news release on Friday. A nomination meeting had been scheduled for April 30.

McLean has served two terms on city council plus ran in past elections as a Liberal.

“People in Grande Prairie deserve a stable, competent, and caring government. After four years of chaos from Danielle Smith and the UCP, they are ready for a change. As part of an Alberta NDP government led by Rachel Notley, I am confident I can represent the interests of people in Grande Prairie and ensure this community thrives,” says McLean in a release from the NDP.
