Political History
In the past two elections, Jason Kenney of the Reform/Canadian Alliance has had an easy time of it here. His 2000 win was over Tory Ray Clark, by a margin of 23,139 votes.
The former Calgary South was the riding of Conservative prime minister R.B. Bennett, who held that office from 1930-35. Since 1945 the seat has only twice gone to Liberals – most recently, to Pat Mahoney, who in 1968 became the last Liberal elected in Calgary. A succession of Tories held the seat from 1972 to 1993, when it was taken by Reform's Jan Brown.
Riding established in 1986.
