Liberals announce Nick Jansen as Innisfail-Sylvan Lake candidate

Jun 19, 2018 | 1:48 PM

The Liberal Party of Alberta is joining the fray now, announcing candidates for two provincial by-elections scheduled for July 12.

In Innisfail-Sylvan Lake, where formler MLA Don MacIntyre resigned earlier this year, Nick Jansen will carry the Liberal flag.

Jansen is a policy analyst with experience in the energy industry and government, a release says. 

“I believe we can create more opportunity and prosperity for families in Innisfail-Sylvan Lake using free market principles and evidence-based policy,” Jansen says. “I’m also committed to preserving our core services and not cutting health or education. Alberta families and seniors need a strong social safety net. I look forward to listening to voters and hearing their concerns.”

Robin Le Fevre will run in the northern constituency of Fort McMurray-Conklin, where Brian Jean formerly served as MLA.
