Smith, who won the leadership of the United Conservative Party on Thursday, says she wanted to run in a rural seat because she thinks rural issues need better representation at the highest level of government.
says she will seek the southeastern seat of Brooks-Medicine Hat in a byelection, even though she doesn’t live in the area.
The move was expected after Brooks-Medicine Hat legislature member Michaela Frey, who had earlier signaled she did not intend to run in the 2023 provincial election, resigned her seat.
