Former Catholic school trustee and past UCP candidate Pamela Rath has launched her campaign for the UCP nomination in Calgary-Beddington.
The Calgary-Beddington riding is currently represented by NDP MLA Amanda Chapman, who defeated UCP MLA Josephine Pon by 543 votes in the 2023 provincial election.
Rath served as a trustee with the Calgary Catholic School District from 2017 until her resignation in December 2022 for “personal and family matters.” Her resignation came a few months after she was censured by her trustee colleagues after being found to be in violation of the board’s code of conduct, though the nature of the alleged misconduct was never made public.
