Jun 2, 2018 | 2:14 PM

Rimbey-Rocky Mountain House-Sundre MLA Jason Nixon has been acclaimed as the United Conservative Party’s candidate for the riding in next year’s provincial election.

On Friday, UCP Leader Jason Kenney issued the following statement regarding Nixon’s acclamation.

“I would like to offer my congratulations to Jason Nixon on being acclaimed to stand as the United Conservative candidate for Rimbey-Rocky Mountain House-Sundre.”

“Jason has been a passionate advocate for his constituents and a valuable member of our team both inside and outside of the Legislature,” added Kenney. “He is a wonderful voice for a conservatism of the heart, given his background working with the homeless and youth challenged by addiction. He played a critical role in uniting Alberta conservatives over the past year and in holding the NDP to account as our House Leader.”

“I look forward to working with him over the next year to provide Albertans with a strong, common-sense alternative to this NDP government and get our province back on track,” concluded Kenney.
