Quick take:
Jon Carson, the only politician to ever have represented the province’s Edmonton-West Henday riding, is not running for re-election.
The NDP MLA is the only lawmaker to ever serve the riding because it was first created in 2017. Carson was first elected as the MLA for Edmonton-Meadowlark in 2015 before winning re-election in Edmonton-West Henday in 2019.
History:
The Edmonton-West Henday riding was created in 2017 after the Electoral Boundaries Commission called for the Edmonton-Meadowlark riding to be renamed and for the Meadowlark Park neighbourhood to be moved out of the riding.
In 2019, the NDP earned more votes than any other party in the riding while the UCP secured the second-most number of votes at 41.49 per cent.
Over the course of three elections between 2008 and 2015, the Edmonton-Meadowlark riding was held by three different parties: the Liberals, the Progressive Conservatives and the NDP.
