The Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills Progressive Conservative constituency association has chosen its delegates for the PC leadership convention and the slate appears to be 100 per cent for leadership candidate Jason Kenney.
The delegates were chosen during a meeting Feb. 10 at the Grouchy Events Centre. The convention takes place March 18 in Calgary.
All three youth delegates were acclaimed, 12 delegates were elected and four - two former MLAs and two riding association executives -- are going as ex-officio delegates.
The youth delegates are Rob Alcorn, Mark Lahoda and Ashley Stevenson.
Fifteen non-youth candidates ran for election as delegates.
Elected are Wade Bearchell, who ran unsuccessfully for the PCs in the 2015 provincial election; Olds town councillor Debbie Bennett; Dean Bracken; Jordan Cleland; Henry Czarnota; Peter Dyck; Aaron Everingham; Pat James; Bill Martin; Carl McDonnell; Ron Richardson and riding association treasurer Bev Stevenson.
Ex-officio delegates attending are former MLAs Bruce Rowe and Richard Marz, constituency association president Rob Smith as well as past-president and party treasurer William Stevenson.
Smith says virtually the entire slate is pro-Kenney, although he's not sure about a couple of youth delegates. Only one clearly voiced support for Kenney.
