A popular previous Progressive Conservative cabinet minister is backing the 2 Alberta NDP prospects.
Doug Griffiths, who represented the constituencies of Wainwright and Battle River-Wainwright, was a PC MLA from 2002 to 2015, serving at one time as Municipal Affairs and Minister of Service Alberta.
Griffiths revealed Friday he is backing Taneen Rudyk and Bill Tonita, prospects in Fort Saskatchewan-Vegreville and Strathcona-Sherwood Park, respectively.
“This is the most pivotal election in Alberta’s history. We don’t need more radical ideas and anger,” says Griffiths, who served under Premiers Ralph Klein, Ed Stelmach and Alison Redford.
