Red Deer-South MLA travelled to Arizona
The UCP MLA for Red Deer-South travelled to the United States this week and says he’s working on returning to the province “right away.”
Jason Stephan’s trip to Arizona was initially confirmed on Saturday by Christine Myatt, press secretary for Premier Jason Kenney’s office.
Stephan then issued a statement later in the afternoon. He stopped short of apologizing for taking the trip, saying instead, “There is already too much contention in our society and I regret if my actions have contributed to that. I look forward to moving past this experience and COVID, in positive directions.”
Stephan says it was October when he bought a plane ticket to Phoenix for departure on December 31.
