EDMONTON – Former provincial cabinet minister Gary Mar has scheduled a news conference for noon today in Edmonton, when he will officially announce he’s joining the Tory leadership race to replace Premier Ed Stelmach.
Mar, 48, resigned earlier this week as Alberta’s point man in Washington and has been rumoured for weeks to be on the verge of launching his leadership bid. He previously said he would announce his intentions sometime in March.
A news conference has been planned for noon today at the Meterra Hotel on Whyte Avenue in Edmonton, with Mar scheduled to speak at 12:35 p.m.
Mr. Mar joins candidates Alison Redford, Doug Griffiths, Ted Morton, and Doug Horner who have already entered the contest.
One reply on “gary mar enters pc leadership contest.”
Seems like a natural fit. I’m a bit worried about the bungee cord staying attached to Washington, though I guess he was just visiting.
