Calgary MP Rempel Garner considers running for UCP leadership

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS, Jun 16, 2022 5:09 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

A longtime Conservative MP from Calgary Michelle Rempel Garner says she's considering a run for the Alberta United Conservative leadership.

Michelle Rempel Garner's name has been circulating as a potential successor to Premier Jason Kenney, who announced last month he would resign after a razor-thin majority of party members backed him in a leadership review.

Rempel Garner has confirmed on Twitter that she has been encouraged to run.

She had been helping with Patrick Brown's run for the federal Conservative leadership, but says she is stepping back from that.
