With the short campaign ahead of the by-election, Sawyer says she is blessed to have the support of the UCP constituency association and her family. She looks forward to connecting with everyone in the riding and hearing what matters to them. Sawyer says “it’s something that I feel passionate about. Being able to be a voice for the people of this riding. It is something that I did in my background with Alberta Grains, my work with the commissions it has always been to be the voice for the people. So I’m excited to help in any way I can to keep this strong Alberta that we have.”
The voters go to the polls for the by-election on June 23rd.
