Travis Toews eager to maintain Alberta’s ‘trajectory’
LETHBRIDGE, AB – Former Alberta Minister of Finance Travis Toews was in Lethbridge on Friday, June 17, 2022 to drum up support for his campaign to become the next leader of the United Conservative Party.
Speaking to a crowd of over 100 supporters at the Rocky Mountain Turf Club (RMTC), Toews says that Alberta conservatives must remain united.
“What grieves me the most over the last two years is the division we see,” said Toews. “We’ve seen division politically, division in the Conservative Party, and the United Conservative Party here in Alberta. I believe it’s essential for the conservative movement to reunite again, unite around the values that we agree on, unite around the values that held us together in 2019.”
Toews has served as the Minister of Finance in Alberta since first being elected in 2019. Toews is proud of the fact that he was able to table a balanced budget for 2022-2023 fiscal year, and if elected Premier, Toews says he would maintain the “trajectory of fiscal responsibility.”
