Four UCP members will not be seeking re-election

EDMONTON – The United Conservative Party says four of its members will not seek re-election when Alberta voters go to the polls next spring.

The four include Wayne Drysdale, who represents Grande Prairie Wapiti, Pat Stier from Livingstone Macleod, Little Bow’s David Schneider and Bonnyville Cold Lake member Scott Cyr.

A party official says the four men made their own decision about not running again and wanted to get the word out before the party’s annual meeting next month in Red Deer.

The official says their decisions have nothing to do with the party vetting candidates before next year’s election.

In a release, leader Jason Kenney thanks the four for their service, and notes the party is attracting new candidates that reflect a more diverse Alberta.

“On behalf of our party and caucus, I know Wayne, Pat, David, and Scott will be missed,” Kenny said Friday.
