Red Deer’s Jim Foster, former Progressive Conservative Attorney General, endorses NDP
Jim Foster, former Progressive Conservative cabinet minister from Red Deer, has endorsed the Alberta NDP in the upcoming election.
Foster, Attorney General for the Peter Lougheed government and former Justice of the Court of King’s Bench, shared his endorsement on Tuesday for Alberta NDP Leader Rachel Notley and Red Deer-South candidate Michelle Baer.
“I am honoured and humbled to have the support of Jim Foster, who served our province so skillfully and ably as MLA, Minister under Premier Peter Lougheed, and Judge on the Court of King’s Bench,” said Notley.
“I have been touched by the number of Progressive Conservatives reaching out to offer support and lend us their votes throughout this campaign. It shows that our campaign is connecting with Albertans of all backgrounds who won’t support Danielle Smith’s chaotic leadership and extreme positions.”
