History
Edmonton-Riverview had been a Liberal stronghold from its creation in 1997 until 2012, when the PCs won the seat. It was later won by the NDP in the 2015 election.
Sigurdson was part of the 2015 orange crush, which saw the Alberta NDP stomp out a 44-year Progressive Conservative dynasty in the province.
