UCP donations nearly double NDP’s in 2018 as Alberta election approaches
CALGARY — Documents show Alberta’s Opposition United Conservative Party raised more money in the fourth quarter of last year than the governing New Democrats did in all of 2018.
New figures from Elections Alberta say the UCP brought in more than $3.9 million from October to December, with a third coming from individual contributions of $250 and under.
“We see this as a sign of growing momentum for the party,” UCP spokesman Matt Solberg said Wednesday. “This certainly helps prepare us well for the election, but there’s a lot left to do.”
