The UCP said that Johnson has been cut off from party support and will no longer have access to funds, UCP staff or volunteers or databases containing voter contact information.
United Conservative Leader Danielle Smith says a candidate who compared transgender students in schools to feces in food would have “a lot of work to do” to find her way into the party’s caucus.
Smith made the comment on CTV Calgary’s morning show a day after she said Jennifer Johnson would not sit with the UCP in the legislature if elected on May 29. In a separate statement to Global News, the UCP said that Johnson has been cut off from party support. Her campaign will no longer have access to funds, UCP staff or volunteers, databases containing voter contact information or any other support, the party said.
Earlier this week, audio surfaced from September 2022, before Johnson won the UCP nomination in Lacombe-Ponoka, with several homophobic and transphobic comments.
