The latest candidate to enter the leadership race for the would-be United Conservative Party in Alberta is urging supporters not to abandon social issues. Schweitzer announced on June 1 that he would seek the leadership of the new United Conservative Party (UCP) if Progressive Conservative (PC) and Wildrose party members ratify a merger agreement in a vote July 22. Voss says as far as she's concerned, neither Wildrose leader Brian Jean nor PC leader Jason Kenney will do. Wildrose constituency association president Matt Glubish sells Wildrose and PC party memberships at Glenora Club event. The Wildrose is selling party memberships until July 8, while the PC party is still finalizing its cutoff date.
