After recently celebrating her 15th anniversary of serving in the Alberta Legislature, Rachel Notley accepted the NDP nomination to run again in Edmonton-Strathcona.
Since 2008, Notley has successfully been elected to represent the central Edmonton seat.
On Saturday, at a constituency nomination meeting, she made it official for the upcoming general election in May, pledging to continue leading the New Democrats with a platform focused on building a stong future for all Albertans.
"In 2015, we showed Alberta that there was another way to do things, and after 40 years, we started governing differently," Notley said.
"We didn't pit climate change against pipelines," she added. "We focused on addressing both issues."
"In the depths of an energy crash that robbed the Alberta treasury of billions and billions and billions of dollars, we did not make families pay for the price of that… Instead, we raised them up."
Notley recognized that after her party's election loss in 2019, Albertans "made a different choice" and said the NDP "had some work to do."
