Landslide! Stubbs takes Lakeland Editor
Shannon Stubbs Michelle Pinon
No contest. Chipman native and Two Hills resident Shannon Stubbs convincingly won a seat in the newly formed riding of Lakeland with more than 71 per cent of the vote. For Stubbs, the victory was particularly satisfying, and fufills her dream of representing residents in the House of Commons. She has been
campaigning in the constituency for well over a year, and the results speak for themselves. Around 9:30 p.m. Shannon told the Lamont Leader, “If elected, I will be proud to represent the constituents of Lakeland and I will make it my mission to promote Alberta and Alberta energy to the rest of Canada. I will keep advocating for the values and principles I ran on: lower taxes to empower Canadians and job creating businesses, free trade, safety and security, putting the rights of victims first in the justice system, and Canadian values and human rights.” She went on to say, “I appreciate all the hours
and hard work my volunteers across the riding contributed to re-elect a Conservative as their representative. They have worked their hearts out during hundreds of hours of effort across our big riding and I am so
grateful for all their contributions and sacrifices.” With two-thirds of the polls (177) reporting in at press time, Stubbs had 27,233 votes compared to her next competitor Liberal Garry Parenteau
who had 5,390; followed by NDP Duane Zaraska 3,653; and Green Party candidate Danielle Montgomery with 960 and Robert McFazadean with 423,
