Federal Election Called: three candidates so far vying for Battle River-Crowfoot
Three candidates are in the running for the riding of Battle River-Crowfoot so far following the 43rd federal election call on Tuesday, Sept. 3.
They are, as of Monday this week: Conservative Party of Canada candidate Damien Kurek, Green Party of Canada candidate Geordie Nelson, and People’s Party of Canada candidate David Michaud.
According to Liberal Riding Association President for Battle River-Crowfoot Chris MacKay, there will be no candidate running under the Liberal banner in this election campaign.
“Unfortunately, due to our numbers, it is unlikely we will have a Liberal candidate for this election. I have been working with the Provincial team on strategy, but at current there are no planned events,” MacKay stated in an email.
As of Monday there is also no New Democratic Party (NDP) of Canada candidate listed.
Canadians will be heading to the polls on Oct. 21. At this point, Conservative candidate Kurek appears to have the biggest boots to fill after being nominated to take over from outgoing MP for the riding Kevin Sorenson. Sorenson has held the riding firmly for over two decades.
In fact, Kurek worked for Sorenson when Sorenson was Minister of State (Finance) in Ottawa before taking over the MP’s constituency office in Camrose.
