Nick Kalynchuk is the UCP candidate for the riding of Edmonton-Highlands-Norwood. He’s worked for Alberta’s Government as 2SLGBTQIA+ Advisor to Premier Danielle Smith and as a communications staffer for former Premier Jason Kenney.
Nick started working for government caucus in 2019 after the UCP’s first victory before joining Premier Kenney’s office. Nick is actively involved in the 2SLGBTQIA+ community in Edmonton as a member of a planning committee for Edmonton PrideFEST. He’s also exploring more ways for 2SLGBTQIA+ serving organizations to be better represented by government and looking forward to making those steps as a government MLA while still maintaining the UCP’s proven track record of prudent fiscal management and compassionate conservatism.
Nick is running because he believes the UCP has better ways to tackle the issues of addictions, homelessness, and rising crime which have disproportionately affected Edmonton-Highlands-Norwood residents and 2SLGBTQIA+ folks. Nick will possess a degree in political science from the University of Alberta in June of 2023.
