Four Alberta NDP MLAs Step Down

Four Alberta NDP MLAs are stepping down, including Calgary’s Joe Ceci and Dr. Luanne Metz, and Edmonton’s Marlin Schmidt and Lori Sigurdson — all set to finish their terms but not seek re-election. NDP leader Naheed Nenshi praised their decades of public service and community roots. Ceci, a former Calgary councillor and finance minister, brings deep political experience; Metz, a new MLA in 2023, served as shadow health minister. Sigurdson, elected in 2015, held key portfolios in innovation, seniors, and housing, while Schmidt, also elected in 2015, previously led advanced education. The party now turns its focus to filling these ridings with new candidates ahead of the next election. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
