Smook seeking Alberta Party nomination for Camrose riding

Kevin Smook, a Beaver County councillor and a local businessman based out of Tofield, is seeking Alberta Party nomination for the Camrose riding in the next provincial election.

“This is more about me encouraging people to vote for me to represent them with the Alberta Party,” said Smook. “It’s not so much about the party yet, because I don’t represent them.” Smook elaborated on his decision and explained, “I share many values that the Alberta Party would have and that’s why I am attracted to them. I see them as a party open to everybody, from all walks of life, no matter what . . . they’re very inclusive.”

After attending several of their events while serving as the first vice-president of Alberta Party in the ‘transitional riding association’, Smook came to the decision.

“When I walk into their events, I see a cross-section of people, from all corners of the province and all aspects of life, that I find very encouraging,” Smook added. “I find in my discussions with them very positive, solution-based politics. If something is considered a bad policy, well, rather than slamming them, come up with a better solution is how they go.”
