Another member of the NDP government caucus in Alberta says he won’t be seeking reelection.

Eric Rosendahl, MLA for West Yellowhead, announced in a statement that as he approaches his 70th year, he believes it’s best for him and his family that he spend “less time in Edmonton” and focuses his energy “closer to home.”

Rosendahl was elected in 2015.

He noted in his statement accomplishments such as a permanent dialysis clinic in Hinton, construction of a new health care centre and elementary school on Edson and the reopening of a coal mine in Grande Cache.
