Sharon Smith says shes always loved what the Alberta Wildrose embodies, as its presence is seen in nearly every part of Alberta.

She even named her horse Wildrose before the political party even existed.

So its safe to say the defection of her former colleagues to the Progressive Conservative (PC) floor and the election of a new leader for the party arent her concerns in the upcoming spring election.

Rather, the Wildrose candidate is concerned about the perceived entitlement of the government, as well as their approach to tackling health care, education and infrastructure challenges.

I keep going back to this nothings changed for me, I didnt run for the Wildrose because of (former leader) Danielle Smith, she said.

Instead, she ran because she wants to provide an alternative as a representative to the people of Leduc-Beaumont, regardless of whos leading her party.

In fact, she believes the change could be for the better. She said newly-elected leader Brian Jean has shown strong leadership skills, and at the leadership convention, there was a sense of renewal and rebirth.
