The Calgary-Elbow MLA was elected MLA for Calgary-Elbow in 2019 and served as justice minister and solicitor general. He has been the province’s jobs, economy and innovations minister for the past two years.
Schweitzer, a lawyer who managed the 2014 leadership campaign for former premier Jim Prentice, sought the leadership of the UCP in 2017, coming in third after Kenney and Fort McMurray-Lac La Biche MLA Brian Jean. This May, Schweitzer announced he would not be seeking re-election, but said he intended to serve in cabinet until a new leader was chosen. The UCP is set to pick a new leader until Oct. 6.
On Friday, Schweitzer thanked his supporters and team members and said he is proud of what they have accomplished.“His contributions to Alberta’s government have helped set Alberta back on the path of economic growth and prosperity,” Kenney wrote.
