Shannon Phillips projected winner in Lethbridge-West
LETHBRIDGE, AB – Shannon Phillips is projected to resume her duties as MLA for Lethbridge-West.
The Canadian Press has called the victory for Phillips in the 2023 provincial election, meaning she is anticipated to serve her third term as MLA since first being elected in 2015. However, despite Phillips’ victory in Lethbridge-West, it is projected that Alberta will have a UCP majority government.
Phillips said that even though it is not the provincial result she was hoping for, she is positive about the support her party received.
She explained, “There’s no question that this is not the result we hoped for, and there is no question that a number of New Democrats and candidates who worked very, very hard are quite disappointed tonight.”
