A plainspoken, two-term Alberta United Conservative backbencher who courted controversy and riled up the Opposition NDP is leaving.
Shane Getson, in a statement, says he is leaving due to personal and family reasons but does not elaborate.
He has represented Lac. Ste. Anne-Parkland, a mostly rural riding northwest of Edmonton since 2019.
Getson never served in cabinet but for a time was the United Conservative caucus whip.
