Are you a UCP member? We want to hear from you

If you're a UCP member, who are you? What are your values and dreams for Alberta? We want to hear about your priorities — beyond the stereotypes cast about by politicians, beyond the labels pundits and Twitter trolls throw around.

If you're a UCP member, who are you? What are your values and dreams for Alberta? We want to hear about your priorities — beyond the stereotypes cast about by politicians, beyond the labels pundits and Twitter trolls throw around.

This fall, 123,915 UCP members are voting for a new leader who will then become Alberta's next premier. In these kinds of campaigns, the media often focus on the events of the leadership contestants or the arguments between front runners.

But to understand what's happening in our province, we can't just focus on leaders. We also need to understand what's been happening to the people those leaders are trying to win over. 

That's why we're launching this invitation.

If you're a UCP member, can you fill out this form to tell us about yourself and your priorities? You can choose to make this just for our ears alone, or to let us share it publicly.

You can also share this form with friends and family who are involved with the UCP.
