Pharmacist Juliet Franklin will be the Alberta NDP candidate for Drumheller-Stettler in the next Alberta provincial election.
“The people who live here, and all across Alberta, deserve a leader and a government that cares about their wellbeing,” said Franklin. “I know that Albertans will get that with an Alberta NDP government led by Rachel Notley, and I am excited for the opportunity to join the team and give Drumheller-Stettler a caring, competent, and stable government.”
Her focus will be on health care.
“The Alberta NDP is focused on ending the chaos in our healthcare system which has been crumbling under this current UCP government. We feel ignored by our current UCP MLA who won’t respond to questions, and I am tired of watching my neighbours and my community suffer under poor leadership of the province.”
Franklin currently lives in Parkdale in Stettler with her husband, and grew up in Edmonton. She holds a Doctorate in Pharmacy from Chicago State University, and a Bachelors in Pharmaceutical and Healthcare Studies from University of The Sciences in Philadelphia.
“Too often I have recommended people from Drumheller-Stettler to seek care at the Red Deer Regional Hospital, which I just learned had its expansion delayed another two years by the UCP. We cannot wait almost another 10 years for more access to healthcare in this region, we need a government that is focused on fixing this problem now,” said Franklin.
