Not Seeking Re-Election
MLA Doug Elniski announces he is not seeking re-election.
(Media Release January 19th, 2012)
The greatest honour of my life was to be elected by my neighbours to serve as the MLA for the Edmonton-Calder constituency.
Since March 2008, I have attempted to honestly and diligently represent the issues of my constituents and to work to improve their quality of life. In doing so, I was enriched by the wonderful relationships that developed for which I will always be grateful.
I am especially proud to have helped my friend and colleague, the Honourable Alison Redford become Alberta's first woman Premier. Her pragmatic approach to governance is exactly what we need in a province as prosperous as Alberta. Her stewardship will ensure that equity exists between service to Albertans and fiscal responsibility.
We have the resources most in demand in the world; food, fuel and fibre. Alberta is the economic engine of Canada and Canada, in turn, is the safest most robust economy in the world.
After considerable internal debate, I have decided I will not be seeking re-election in 2012 to pursue other opportunities.
Thank you to all my friends, supporters and constituents for the opportunity to serve you as the MLA for Edmonton-Calder. I wish you all success in whatever endeavours you pursue and never forget... "It’s all in Calder".
God bless,
Doug Elniski
