ELECTION HISTORY
Calgary-Mountain View has been held by several different parties since its creation in 1971. It came from Calgar-East whose Social Credit MLA from 1967-1971 held the new Mountain View, 1971-1975.
Next came Stan Kushner (PC) from 1975-1982. Another Tory, Bohdan (Bud) Zip, was the MLA from 1982-1986; then Bob Hawkesworth of the NDP 1986-1993.
When he decided not to run, Tory Mark Hlady won the seat. Hlady won in 1997 and 2001 but in 2004, Liberal David Swann trounced Hlady and won in 2008, 2012 and 2015 by reasonable margins.
In 2019, Swann retired and Liberal Leader David Khan ran fourth in the worst Liberal results in Alberta history. The NDP’s Kathleen Ganley won easily.
