"It is my dear hope that Premier-Elect, Danielle Smith, chooses to run in Brooks-Medicine Hat," said Frey in her letter to the constituents of Brooks-Medicine Hat that she posted to social media. "Danielle's vision will breathe new life into our region, putting us on the map for investors and exciting opportunities.
"Danielle has won the leadership of our party, building a broad coalition of Albertans and garnering support across the province — I hope that she will be able to count on your support as well." Frey says she looks forward to growing her family in Medicine Hat and "exploring opportunities to further serve my community outside of elected office."Smith was selected as UCP leader and Alberta's next premier by party members Thursday night, but is not a sitting member of the legislature.
