OTTAWA — The man who ran Leslyn Lewis's campaign as she made two consecutive bids to become the federal Conservative leader is off to help Alberta Premier Danielle Smith try to win a provincial election in 2023.
Steve Outhouse confirms he will serve as campaign manager for Smith and the United Conservative Party when Albertans go to the polls next spring. Outhouse is well known in Conservative circles and was Lewis's campaign manager during the federal party leadership contest this year, which Pierre Poilievre won handily.
Lewis is a member of Parliament in rural Ontario who enjoyed the backing of the party's social conservative base during her leadership runs in 2020 and 2022.After taking over the UCP leadership following Jason Kenney's resignation, Smith vowed to push back against Ottawa, beginning with her controversial sovereignty act.
