Shooting out to an early lead and never looking back, UCP candidate Michaela Glasgo was one of the first candidates to be declared a winner in the provincial election.
“We’ve worked hard, we’ve earned every single vote,” said a visibly emotional Glasgo as she arrived at the UCP party at Medicine Hat Lodge where several hundred supporters had gathered to celebrate.
Glasgo said her approach to the election campaign had been to stay humble, avoid any mud-slinging and remain focused on the issues which she said were jobs, the economy and pipelines.
“We never strayed from that message,” said Glasgo.
She believes her efforts, along with her team, to knock on the doors of constituents contributed to her success. She revealed her team had even been door knocking until 4 p.m. on election day.
“They said, ‘you came to my door. I’ve never had anyone else come to my door,'” said Glasgo.
