The pitch
Alberta needs someone in the legislature who’s read the case law, stood in the courtroom, and knows how to build a province where families can afford their lives and feel safe in their own homes.

Meet Ben
Raised in Alberta by a single mother who immigrated from England, Ben spent his childhood summers out at Alberta Beach. He earned a double major in Business Economics and Business Law at the University of Alberta, then his law degree at the U of A. He was called to the Alberta Bar in 2013.
Ben has argued matters in every level of Alberta court, before the Court of Appeal of the Northwest Territories, and on criminal files in British Columbia and Saskatchewan. He served 9 years on the board of Student Legal Services, which provides free legal help to Albertans who can’t afford a lawyer.
He’s running to make Alberta safer, more affordable, and finally in control of its own future.
Read Ben’s full storyWhere Ben stands
Albertans are working harder than ever and getting less for it. Grocery bills have climbed past what a family budget can absorb, gas prices punish anyone who has to drive to work, and a house has become something people talk about instead of something they buy.
Read the policy
Ben understands Albertans’ desire for a better deal for Alberta, for themselves and our neighbours. He shares their anger and frustration at the lack of regard for Alberta in Ottawa.
Read the policySoft justice policies have turned rural Alberta into a playground for repeat, violent offenders. They target isolated properties on purpose, because they know the nearest detachment is miles away and the response time is measured in hours.
