Kenney says communication with other leadership campaigns not unusual

EDMONTON – The leader of Alberta’s Opposition United Conservative Party says it’s not unusual for competing campaigns to share information during a leadership race.

Jason Kenney told talk radio station CHED that staff on his leadership campaign communicated with staff on Jeff Callaway’s campaign during the UCP race in 2017.

But he says he offered absolutely no financial support to Callaway.

He says if there are questions about financial irregularities, he hopes authorities get to the bottom of it.
