Richard G. "Rick" Fraser (born 1971 or 1972) is a Canadian politician who is an elected member to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta representing the electoral district of Calgary-South East.[1][2]
Elected as a Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta MLA in 2012, Fraser initially joined the rest of the PC caucus in its merger with the Wildrose Party to form the United Conservative Party in 2017. He left the caucus on September 21, 2017 to sit as an Independent due to his dissatisfaction with the party's leadership contest and the emphasis put by candidates on spending cuts and austerity.[3]
Fraser registered his candidacy for the leadership of the Alberta Party on December 30, 2017 and officially announced his candidacy on January 9, 2018,[4] and also joined the Alberta Party caucus.[5]
