Kevin Sorenson, Member of Parliament for Battle River-
Crowfoot (formerly Crowfoot) announced his decision today not to run in the 2019 Federal Election.

“Six elections, nineteen great years, and various positions with the Official Opposition and
Government. Being a Member of Parliament has been the honour of my working life. All of it
is thanks to the tremendous support of the amazing constituents of Battle River-Crowfoot, the
many, many volunteers on all of my campaigns and the tireless dedication and sage advice of
you, my Board of Directors and Executive,” Kevin Sorenson told his supporters. “But, it is time
to go. It is time to spend more time with my family who have so selflessly and wholeheartedly
stood by my side throughout this long and demanding journey.”

First elected in 2000, Sorenson has served as minister of state for finance, chair of standing committe on public accounts, chair of the committe on the Canadian mission in Afghanistan, and vice-chair on the committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development, among other duties.

He endorsed Conservative Party Leader Andrew Scheer in a press release.
