Two women candidates quit Alberta Progressive Conservative leadership race
EDMONTON — The only two female candidates in the Alberta Progressive Conservative leadership contest quit the race Tuesday.
One of them, Sandra Jansen, said she had been harassed and intimidated and accused fellow leadership candidate Jason Kenney of bringing “Trump-style politics” to Alberta.
Jansen, a Calgary member of the legislature, resigned from the race in a letter to her supporters.
“This past weekend in Red Deer (at the party’s policy convention) has left me quite shaken,” Jansen wrote.
