Shane Getson MLA for Lac Ste. Anne – Parkland
“I’ve worked with Travis for 3 years now and have had the chance to observe, and get to know him very well. He is the real deal, a man I can trust. He can rope, ride, wrangle the budget, make the deals we need down on Wall Street and in Ottawa. He’s not a career politician, a handshake still means something to him. I believe he is the person we want to represent Alberta as Premier. A person as comfortable in jeans and boots as he is in a suit and tie.”
