Ric McIver is the new interim leader of the Alberta PC Party. Former leader Jim Prentice stepped down on election night, also vacating his Calgary Foothills seat.
McIver is the MLA for Calgary-Hays, just one of the 11 spots secured for the Progressive Conservatives last Tuesday. He’s now in his second term, has held multiple cabinet positions provincially, and spent almost a decade on Calgary City Council.
McIver says he’s honoured to have been chosen by his caucus colleagues.
