KEVIN TODD FOR MLA

So, what is happening now?

Thanks for patiently stewing on my last big announcement. I have met many people around Livingstone Macleod over the last 8 weeks and found myself having the same conversation over and over again, many people are saying they are politically homeless. Life long conservatives who no longer recognize this version of conservatism the UCP has created, but in the same breath could not face voting for the NDP party either. The deeper I found myself campaigning for the UCP nomination the more I became acutely aware that this party no longer represented my values as a conservative. I too found myself politically homeless.

I was conflicted, I wanted to serve Livingstone Macleod, but could no longer support the UCP. I considered running independent, but I felt that would not do myself or the residents of Livingstone-Macleod any good. I was then reintroduced to the Alberta Party

The Alberta Party is an established party that filled all the gaps that were missing for me with the UCP. Here is a party that aligns with my values perfectly and from what I have been hearing from residents of Livingstone-Macleod is the party they have also been searching for. I was left unsettled hearing from people across the region that they are voting against something. Voting against the UCP, voting against the NDP, voting against their leaders. The Alberta Party gave me a place to vote FOR something and I believe you will find the same. No more games. No more division. No egos. Just pure service to the best interest of the people we represent. PEOPLE, PROVINCE, PROSPERITY These are the guiding principles of the Alberta Party.

I met with the leader of the Alberta Party Barry Morishita last week and I was beyond impressed and inspired by him and the party's direction. One thing that stood out significantly for me is that this party is about actual representation and will not have a whip. This means decisions will be made for the best interests of Livingstone-Macleod, not the party. MLAs for The Alberta Party have autonomy. The party of course has their core values, but the needs of Livingstone-Macleod are very different than the needs of central Calgary and should be represented as such. The Alberta Party allows for this.

This was not a decision made lightly, and I encourage you, if you also find yourself lost by the current directions of the two main political parties to look into the Alberta Party. This is the movement we have been waiting for. Besides my meeting with Barry Morishita I have been incredibly impressed with the assistance of the local CA boards well as the party itself. They have been very welcoming and helpful and I thank them for supporting me as well as ALL the other nominees who have chosen to step up.

Therefore, I am officially announcing my nomination for The Alberta Party Livingstone-Macleod. Nominations are now open if you too would like to run for this truly grassroots and practical party. For information contact the CA president Kieth Carlson for more information.
